Having in view my hobby, some days ago my friend said he has something very interesting for me, to be more exact he let me in greater detail investigate what is inside of Lithuanian vending machines, as he works as an administrator which operates them So during some hours I reviewed several thousand eurocoins that were dropped by Lithuanians into the local vending machines It was in total about 5000 coins in all bags like one of them looks on the picture below:



So, for a deep (and faster ) analytical work it was necessary to involve additional plastic container throwing checked coins in it

Content of one full bag:


Many bags, thousands of coins and such are the first results:

More than half of coins were 20c, 10c, 5c and 2c, less often 1c, 50c and 1€, least of all - 2€ coins.
About 80% of all coins were Lithuanian.
Among all foreign coins (in order by visual rate of occurrence):
Spain, France, Germany, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Austria, Greece, Slovakia (hundreds and tens coins from each country).
Some exotic in my country:
Portugal - 32 coins
Luxembourg - 15 coins
Malta- 8 coins
Cyprus - 7 coins
and Slovenia - only 2 among all about 5000 reviewed coins.

Such Lithuanian statistics

Is it possible to change bills in Lithuanian banks? Or are change and ATMs the only sources?

I think, that Lithuanian banks don't change bills. You can change only in ATM.

[RKPLt]

Actually, you can change bills to another bills, but Swedbank will charge 4.5% (min.0.87€), DNB - 6%, Nordea and Medicinos bankas - 1%, and only Šiaulių bankas will take 0,1% for changing euro banknotes between nominals. Believe me - you will seem strange to bank personal and receive many questions, but...
