I haven't had any for weeks.

Convinced my husband is hiding his! Reduced to nicking all of his change for the children's holiday spending jar.........

Hi
I am going to save £2 coins from here on in. I usually save 20p's downwards but have to admit that sometimes have to break into them when things get desparate! I will try not to do this in future.
I'm going to go and add this straight to my signature.

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!

hi...u r correct!!.. i work for the underground.....those big ticket machines that accepts the notes normally gives out change in £2 coins as it cannot give change in notes! once the £2 coins has run out then it'll start giving change in pound coins until someone floats the machines back up with £2 coins!!

:j Just to say this is my first time. I read the site regularly but have never posted before. I'm collecting my £2 in a Harrods biscuit tin!! I don't know how much I have but I estimate around £40. I want to keep it a mystery. Will let you know when it's full (or sooner if I can't stand the suspense!).

Please Miss, can I join it too?

I've been reading this board for ages (yes, all 200 pages of it and yes, i do need a life) and wanted to join for ages. Today, I finally got my first three £2 coins. All three at once!

I am saving for a deposit for a house, so the OH has been roped in on this too. :rolleyes: With 3% being the minimum, I think i'll be in this club for a while.

Woo hoo. Even my signature has been updated. I'm a real techno-babe. :cool:
