If we all save £2 coins wont there be a national shortage or abreak down in the economy collapse of the bank of England?

I'm sure I heard that with 5ps surly £2 coins are worse?

Just a thought.

Save all your spare change and notes in it and be safe in the knowledge no one else can help themselves. You won't even be able to dip in to it yourself so your savings are safe until you really need them. instructions will be sent with the box how to open when required"

I'd be terrified I'd never be able to get it back out again Especially as it sounds huge and must hold a fortune!

Two more today following Saturday's necessary shopping.

Also had seven sherrif's badges in purse today so am starting to save those two. Greenfingers - you need only count the £2s for the Savers' Club spreadsheet. The sherrif's badges are just making my holiday appear sooner - or is that cheating?

Got 2 more yesterday now gives me £20.

Have been reading through all the other posts and have noticed that people think that there could be a shortage of £2 coins.

Have just been on to the Royal Mint web site and contacted them to find out how many £2 cions are in general circulation. Hope to have an answer within 5 days. If they come back to me I will post the answer here.

If anyone is really desperate to get one you can buy a £2 coin commemorating the Battle of Trafalger for £29.95!!!!

Keep up all the good work with the saving

What a fab idea! I had seen from people's signatures they were saving £2 coins but didn't know where it originated from. Made the effort to find out this morning and it's something I'm definately going to sign up too

Mmmm, will need to think what it is going to go towards..... think a goal with these things always helps and makes you less likely to dip into when a bit short!

Will update sig shortly

I have decided to put my £2 coin savings into my ING account month on month. It makes sense to get a bit of interest and I do have an empty sub account there

I get organic veg and meat boxes delivered so don`t get to the shops that often. I think I`ll pay for the petrol with my £2 coins today instead of my debit card. They`ll stay in circulation that way

LoLo

got 4 more on Friday.
