I need some change!

Basic question...

Where on earth can I change a £20 note into 20 x £1 coins??

My local Barclays are useless - my local branch directs you to cash points which only give out notes, I'm not a business so can't order them in.
The Post Office says it's money laundering.

I just want some bloody change!

Amusement arcades have change machines if you are anywhere near one. Otherwise the bank or post office might let you buy pound coins with your debit card rather than changing a note?
Or go to the supermarket and buy the smallest thing they have with your £20. Ask for the change in coins if they have enough.

I had the same thing recently and went to a burger van near her closing time and she kindly gave me pound coins in exchange for a note.

Post office says it’s money laundering? Confused

Try supermarkets. I’ve managed to get change from them
