  • Why are they so hard to find?

    Am often tempted to ask for some in my change - but I resist... I think that is probably "cheating"... and I would never "do a Drogba" :)
  • I'm new to this site today but I happen have £12 in £2 coins so I'd like to join in too please!

    Welcome...
  • Current total 54.00 and I must admit I'm loving saving them and (confession time here) I've never saved in my life before. So think it's fair to say that this site and this thread in particular has changed my attitiude to money.

    My only dilemma now is do I bank 50.00 now or do I wait until I reach the magic 100.00??? ;)


    Thanks :beer: :T

    I was down in London last week and the big ticket machines (the ones that accept notes and cards) always seem to give £2 coins in change, even if buying a single ticket with a £20 note.

    I probably collected over 15 coins in 3 days, but had to spend most of them (I was in London after all ;) ) - managed to save 6 though, so I'm quite proud of myself :)

    I guess most people living in London just use those Oyster cards nowadays, but it's worth knowing if you ever need the odd ticket - pay with a £20 note and you'll get a whole wallet/purse full of £2 coins!
