Loose Change

What is the easiest way to get it deposited or trade it for paper money? Do any banks have automatic coin counters as they do in the USA? They sometimes charge a small % fee.

Let your wife take care of it.

my partner takes ours to the bank and exchanges them for notes, not sure if there is a fee.;

3% every time I've done it at the bank. They'll accept a small amount of coins for deposit into an account without a fee. Up to the teller's discretion what the definition of "small" is.

Coin drops run by charities are placed in many locations that I have seen from small table top containers to huge plastic boxes in exits of big stores.

I feel sure that banks have coin sorters and counters but maybe only at the region level as I have not seen them in the branch level operations unless they are in a back room.

Before giving money to Unicef, do you know what they do with it? I think donating it to another worthwhile charity that doesn't fund a huge wasteful behemoth bureaucracy that has many workers and little to show for the amounts of capital that it is infused with.

Fine with me, feel free to give us the names of other charities that you deem more worthwhile.

Hmm, Me thinks the op was not intending to give the money to charity?

There are many worthwhile Orphanages in and around Bangkok. That I am sure would be most grateful for any amount of small change. We some times give to one. But Items rather than money.

Most 7.11 shops are grateful for all loose change, I always have loads and bag it up into 100bt bags each year - they will check it and then give you the notes back. My local Banks refused to take it.

[MSingh]

Go & drop it off at a Dog Shelter or something..

[pattaya_girl]

Well if i decided to give a donation to the Dog shelter, I certainly would not give cash, I would go and buy a load of tins of food with the money and take them, that way, you know that the actual animals will get it then.

This is Thailand.

Local wat donation will suffice.
