    I cann't believe my husband we got 2 while out Monday evening when I counted my babies I found there was one missing. It turns out that the designer toy pushchair that our granddaughter is pushing around was paid for with one of those £2 coins. I was so shocked it has taken me until now to write this :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    It was a jar of custard powder. I'm thinking of getting some more for other coins...I think they must have magical powers like the magic porridge pot!
