Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"

too_much_debt

Hi. Haven't posted here for quite a while and haven't been able to read over 100 pages of posts but I have a couple of questions if anyone doesn't mind answering them.

1. What is this about 20p coins from 2008 with no date on?

2. I saw some posts about voting - what is the vote for?

I always add my change to my sealed tin in the evenings, I have 4 pots at the moment, the Sealed one for this challenge which won't be opened until Dec 1st, I don't make a note of what I'm putting in, I'd like the surprise at the end of the year.

I have one for 20p's which when full will open as I'm saving these for my Car Insurance in April, I have one for £2 coins (don't have many in there at the moment). I also have another big pig which I'm dividing the coins between this one and the sealed one, the other one is for emergencies if I need any money.

Hi everyone
I know I dont post here very often but Im still with you all in spirit. You all sound like youre having a great time raiding pockets and collecting road kill. Having said that my sealed pot didnt get much this week due to nobody being out in the snow. Im also in the £2.00 savers one as well but Im beginning to wonder why. Where are all the £2.00 coins????
Keep up the good work and roll on December

They're in our potties.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

OOOOOh! large golden coins are my absolute favourite. LOL

Thanks Little Chicken.

Will vote for you in a mo.

I'm intrigued about the 20p's, so will wait for a reply on what it's all about.

Off to vote for you now.

Hi guys

The 20 p's answer is the some of them have been made without the 2008 date on them and one was being sold on e-bay last week for loads of dosh. I checked it out and it stll had an hour to go before closing and it was at £52.00. These are the new 20p coins and on ebay there is a picture showing which they are, and also a statement from the Royal mint explaining the mistake.

Voted, you were in 3rd place, now in 2nd. Yours is lovely, I love the colours, don't like what is at number 1.

:(just checked on ebay and there are some 20p coins selling for in excess of £45. I have checked all mine in sealed pot......and nothing.

I managed to win some money on the bingo last night :j Therefore I've put £10 in the 'student loan payback' tin and another £10 in the 'ISA' tin. Have a lovely weekend everyone! :beer:
