The £2.00 Coin Savers Club

master_blaster_2

I Love that im not the only one who does this
i have been saving £2 coins since they came out (almost)
a girl i worked with was at the till in work changing money and i had to ask what she was doing. She told me she saves £2 coins ... '' this much makes a tenner ''(mime small pile of coins).... what a good idea i said ... and iv been saving them ever since..... at one stage i hade nearly 4 grand in coins lol.
i dont even take mine to the bank as i know i would spend the so i just keep saving them ...... i bought a jet ski ( not very money saving i know) a few years ago and was able to buy a brand new one with the deposit i had in £2 coins (although i did change them into note first

keep up the good work everyone .... although with so many saving them there will probably be a shortage in circulation lol lol

When I was at the till of the shop at work the other day, I handed over a £10 note and said - if you have any £2 coins in there.....she said no she didn't , but that she collected them herself as well!!

There are a lot of us out there and I reckon that's why i've only got £4 so far!!!!!!

Your posting really made me laugh Greenfingers - thanks for that!!

Have ordered a terramundi today (sorry no, make that 3 - one as a christening present, one for my son's birthday - coz he's hopeless with money - and one for my £2s). Hope it comes soon as had to use £4 of my £2 collection, to pay window cleaner; if in a terramundi couldn't have paid and the window cleaners would have had to come back I'm afraid - sorry!!

I dont really qualify - I got a Terramundi pot on October 2005 - treated myself to one as I always seem to buy them for other people and have saved £1, £2, and 50p coins in it since then - Its very heavy and needs to be opened with a screwdriver in the slot and actually prize the top off - then you are left with a pot for a plant. I also save 20p's in small tin for the window cleaner money.
I would love to join but I save more than £2 coins! http://www.terramundi.co.uk/ This site is the pot site

Thanks for the link, maybe I'll invest once my £2 savings have reached a significant amount to lose the £18.50 to purchase one hehe. For the time being I've used the other link provided a few days ago http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/Canbank.shtml to make my own out of a large coffee jar and have superglued the lid on so the only way to get the cash is to smash the thing when it's full!
