The £2.00 Coin Savers Club

I've now received my Terramundi and it has £24 in it so far, won't be trying to keep track though, as I want a surprise when I open it!

Not sure if I've been added to the list yet?

Hi i am new and need to save after filling out the budget planner to discover i spend more than i earn!
so £2 coin saving sounds like a good idea to me as i dont like them and normally spend them! Better to save them !!
So as of today i have £2!
I dont get many £2 coins thoughand need to think of something to put them in. Cash can seems best value as its vheaper and i'm skint!!
so far this web site has already pointed out things i didnt know/needed to read!
so thanks for this idea!! :beer:

Hi, I've bought a Terramundi Money Pot to save my £2 coins in. Started saving on 24 February 2006. Going to keep track of amount saved by 'weight' rather than '£s'.

Weight of empty Terramundi Pot on 24 February 2006 = 700g

Weight of Terramundi Pot on 3 March 2006 = 825g :j

In my ignorance and for the fear of sounding stupid - could I please ask what is a terramundi pot?

:doh: Took 30.00 out of jar to buy theatre tickets to a show during the school hols, used them in hairdressers, went to theatre to get tickets, not on sale for another month! So went to bank and changed notes back to 2.00 coins and now back safe and sound in jar....should have asked for a few more really as not been given one in change for ages...this is taking over my life!!!!!

Hi, here is an explanation of what a Terramundi Money Pot is:

History: This is an Etruscan Money Amphora. These money pots have been used in Italy for the last 2000 years and their hand thrown design has remained the same. Examples can be seen in the British Museum.

Tradition: Once the first coin is dropped the money pot must be fed til full, then smashed whilst making a wish. It is customary to replace pot and to spend money on good things. Pots bring fortune. There is a fortune card in each pot. Pots hold up to £200 in mixed silver.

See https://www.terramundi.co.uk

Hope that helps to explain what one is!

Ok, just weighed 3 x £2 coins and they weighed 1.25 oz. Now has anyone got an empty terramundi they can weigh. Did a Choc party last night and received the coins in payment so have put them in my jar. Another cheque to write out. Aah well!

Hi, an empty Terramundi weighs 700g or 1lb 9ozs.
