HURRAY! Since seeing the £2 Coin Savers Club on MSE, I have desparately been awaiting my first £2 coin and I finally have one! So that will go into my piggy bank when I get home and I can start saving for my holiday money in May! :j

I'm not sure how this saving lark is going to work out you know...

Am trying not to spend any cash at work by taking home-made sandwiches with me but if I don't spend anything how can I get more £2 coins?!?!?!?!

You think if I knock a tooth out the tooth fairy will read this, have pity on me and leave one under my pillow?

My Choc season has started and a lot of people pay in cash and with £2 coins, so I have just written out a cheque to my cashbox and added £26 worth of coins to my terramundi. Hence new signature. Prior to that I had only received one in change. Probably because I very rarely use cash.

Yes, but don't expect another one to grow in it's place (and you will have to spend all you've saved so far on a dentist)!

If I've not really been spending much, then I ask friends/family if they've got any they want to swap. You can always try haggling with them to get the price down or pretend you've only got £1.50 on you and pull a sad face - they might take pity on you!

Also corner shops are always after smaller change and may be willing to swap for £2's.

Changed my 2p coins in the bank for 2 coins and then got one in my change from the library when I paid for my audio book! I think my personal experience is that I seem to get these coins when I least expect them and so give a 'silent' whooop! :grinheart My local Sainsburys seems quite poor in the hunt ie they give £8 in change in £1 coins (are £5 notes in short supply) Perhaps the staff just don't think of the £2 coins.
