liam_p91 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Anyone know somewhere in Sheffield where I can change notes for pound coins other than a bank? Preferably close to center Our electric meter in our flat is really old and requires pound coins to top up. I'm getting fed up of asking cashiers in every shop I go in to change for pound coins, they see it as a massive inconvenience most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Other than banks or building societies, shops are your only option really, and even then it's at the cashier's discretion... I would contact your energy supplier, ask them to install a new meter.... I thought it was illegal to have one of these meters now as they don't meet safety standards or aren't accurate enough at reading your usage or something.....

liam_p91 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Illegal? I'll have to look it up, it seems cheap enough anyways like £1.50 a day just a real pain getting the right change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve68 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Arcades normal have change dispensers, although I'd guess they'd probably expect you to play a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look it up, it seems cheap enough anyways like £1.50 a day just a real pain getting the right change ok, it seems it isn't illegal, (can't remember where I saw that before) but the energy companies tend to not install them now due to the fact they aren't very accurate, or easy to use.... some landlords may install them in shared or converted houses to be able to split the bill across a few tenants... Either way, call your energy supplier, explain to them, and i'm sure they'll come and put a different meter in (Key top up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting fed up of asking cashiers in every shop I go in to change for pound coins, they see it as a massive inconvenience most of the time i used to live in a flat with the old coin meter. i just saved pound coins that i got in my change and put them in a jar next to the meter and just fed some in now and then to keep it topped up. trying to get shops to change my notes for coins was near impossible.

northernboy Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've definitely seen a change machine in the bus interchange (think it was near the National Express desk) but I don't know whether it gives out pound coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-s Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've always found the smaller post offices helpful with change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't give out pound coins, it gives out 10p's (When it works) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
