The £2.00 Coin Savers Club

  • In a pickle now - I knew I would be! I've taken £20 in £2 coins in the last couple of days into my work cash tin. I've been umming and ahhing about swopping them out, and have decided to do it. I can swop £20 across from my personal account to the business one, but I just sat there last night with a pile of £2 coins going "I can't pay them in to the bank, I just can't" So bad, I was there for ages debating it!

    Hi

    I'd like to join this rather exclusive club, although I don't have any £2 coins at the moment.

    I'll insert a slot in my sig (sounds rude doesn't it? tee hee).

    Any ideas of what to spend it on when it reaches a certain amount?

    I'm afraid I cheated by changing 4 x £1 for 2 x £2 in the petty cash at work. :rotfl:

    We've even renamed the spare saving account online the two pound coin account. Think I must be losing the plot!

    Erm... I did that too! :eek:

    Maybe we could start a trend?
