What do I do with all those useless coins that nobody wants? Is there a Coinstar type of machine that I can get rid of these annoying coins?

I save up all my foreign coins and small HK currency and then I take it when i fly on Cathay Pacific and give it all to the Change for Good charity that they support.

HSBC the main one in Central has a dept. downstairs where you can change it up. You have to bag it up first though.

If you're just looking to get rid of 1Oc/20c/50c coins then you just need a charity box - Watsons has one by the till often.


Or you could spend them.

I bought some super glue. Got all the coins i had collected over the last 2 months and 19 days. Then i super glued them together in the shape of the Isle of Mann. They make great presents for people at Christmas and Birthdays. For next project i intend to recreate Pamela Andersons breasts, but think i will need to collect for some time before it is finished.

wow. thanks for all the creative ideas! had totally forgotten Cathay does accept coin donations. Wonder if they accept drop offs at Airport Express check-in counters?

At the airport express station in Central (near the platform, befire the turnstiles) there's a big collection box.
