I’ve collected about £20 of loose change which is pretty useless to me like this, I was wondering if anyone had any intuitive ways of using it other than buying odd bits or awkwardly cashing it in at the bank?

Most big supermarkets have a machine you pour it in, and it takes a cut before giving you a voucher to cash it for notes.
Remember the time in your life that you were looking for a little change.
Just go dump it in the coin counting machine at the bank. Don’t bother with the one at the supermarket which takes a cut
Pay a visit to your local shit strip club

I say pay for some shopping at a self checkout that accepts cash
Drop it all into the self check out at the supermarket, and once you’ve used it all, you can pay whatever is left on card.
take a handful and throw it in one of the self service tills at the supermarket. You’ll find you end up putting less on your card.
It’s legal tender spend it !
Pub fruit machine
Metro banks have a coin counting machine. They don’t take a cut.
Careful with that euro
Chuck it into one of those fountains where you make a wish?
Do a budget challenge.
Your food for the week has to come from this. Its doable and your bank account will thank you.
Claw machine.
Fill a tube sock with them and stash in your jacket pocket, it will be useful as a makeshift flail should you come across a Bully XL outside Farmfoods, whilst being easy to disassemble/dispose of should you be approached by the fuzz.
Go to a grocery story and use a coin star or something similar to convert it to cash?
My bank has a pay-in machine with a coin chute. If find that’s the quickest way to deal with fistfuls of small change
I use my coins for tips when I go to cafes or restaurants
Buy some drugs. If they turn up late, use the coins.
Take a small handful with you when you go shopping and drop it into a charity pot of your choice
Spending it at supermarket self checkout is boring answer
I’m accepting donations
Bring back Penny for the Lantern and get shot of Trick or Treat.
In Canada we call it bar shrapnell.
Some grocery stores have change machines that provide bills
I’ll take it off your hands to save you the hassle
Self service chuck it all in
Why would it be awkward to cash at the bank, it is litterally one of the banks purposes.
