The last time we did this, we spent about an hour counting and bagging the money. We took it to the bank to pay in. The bank duly de-bagged all of the coins, and put them through their counting machine, charging me a small % for their work. No problem with the %, it was dead money anyway. Just a tad upset we'd spent so much time counting and bagging it.
This year I said we'd just take all of the coins, and pour them straight into the counting machine.
Arrived at the bank, handed over the bag of coins, and the clerk immediately called for assistance. I thought I must have looked like a bank robber. Kasikorn Bank no longer accepts coins because of Covid. I was public enemy number 1. Paying money into a bank, what a ludicrous idea. FFS, my coins have been sat in my pig for many months - any Covid bug would be long dead. If they don't accept coins, where do banks get their coins? What is the difference between a bag of coins and a bag of paper money?
A bank that doesn't accept money - I've heard it all now.

Mrs BB is now counting/bagging all of this 'dirty' money. I think we'll be shopping with coins for the next month or so.
