That wouldn't be legally enforcable here. You could do it if the company agreed, but that much coin isn't legal tender.

United Kingdom

Legal tender is solely for the guaranteed settlement of debts and does not affect any party's right of refusal of service in any transaction.[32]

In the 19th century, gold coins were legal tender to any amount, but silver coins were not legal tender for sums over 2 pounds nor bronze for sums over 1 shilling. This provision was retained in revised form at the introduction of decimal currency, and the Coinage Act 1971 laid down that coins denominated above 10 pence became legal tender for payment not exceeding 10 pounds, non-bronze coins denominated not more than 10 pence became legal tender for payment not exceeding 5 pounds, and bronze coins became legal tender for payment not exceeding 20 pence.

Throughout the United Kingdom, coins valued 1 pound, 2 pounds, and 5 pounds Sterling are legal tender in unlimited amounts. Twenty pence pieces and fifty pence pieces are legal tender in amounts up to 10 pounds; five pence pieces and ten pence pieces are legal tender in amounts up to 5 pounds; and pennies and two pence coins are legal tender in amounts up to 20 pence.[33] In accordance with the Coinage Act 1971,[34] gold sovereigns are also legal tender for any amount. Although it is not specifically mentioned on them, the face values of gold coins are 50p; £1; £2; and £5, a mere fraction of their worth as bullion. Five pound coins, although legal tender, are intended as souvenirs and are almost never seen in circulation.

Maundy money is legal tender but may not be accepted by retailers and is worth much more than face value due to its rarity value and silver content.

One of the great things about a self-service checkout is that you can stand there and feed it coppers for as long as you want - you'll get bored before it does. I think I've managed about 3 quid in one go, with nothing bigger than a tuppence. Took bastard ages, mind.

Anyhoo:

Thank you, YouTube comments, for nailing where I know this tune from:

Do you know what makes me laugh though...

Had about £40 in change all neatly bagged correctly.. quite a few 1p bags.. went into a "high street bank" to pay it in to a friends account...

Teller wouldn't take my money. I said

"You what. This is a bank!"

After a bit of a chat, she ended up taking the money and giving me a reciept without counting it and took my mobile number 'incase the amount is wrong'. Felt a bit bad really as she took a big risk but what amazes me most is, it's about the poshest bit of the NW and they have this shitstained carpet, decor transplanted from a 1970s dole office, tea making facilities on display with "Love u Sharon" mugs laying around etc, they don't even buy a coin counting machine. FFS! Then they pay the boss a billion dollars a second! It's mental.

Ah, the internal combustion engine.

Propelling oneself with plumbing. Plumbing that drives pistons by exploding liquid dead things inside them.

It's just so "steampunk" it hurts.

It can be a lot of fun, though.
