Oooh.. there are so many nice ones. The temptation is too much! I bought my mum one of these a year ago and its getting quite heavy now. Don't know if I can justify that money though, I have a perfectly good piggy bank in the shape of a VW camper van (as I have already mentioned in this thread, apologies!). Maybe I will wait and ask for one as a present (but have just had christmas and my brithday is today so will have to wait a while... :doh: ). Will have a think :think: and see if I can fit it into my budgets anywhere. Will have to make a new category - "completely non-essential but I really want it!". But think how many £2 coins I would have to collect just to pay for it (10 to be exact), and I'm not doing too well yet :rotfl:

*sneaks away to continue internal dilema in private* :whistle:

I think these make fabulous presents, I bought two last year, one for a friends 40th and one for some friends 25th Wedding Anniversary. I started them both of with a £2 coin and put in a note to explain what I had done. They were thrilled because they are a bit of a different pressie.

My Terramundi is bright orange because that was the colour I was planning to have in my new kitchen (we were still waiting at that point for our new house be finished). However, kitchen ended up being lilac. Aah Well!

I am going to have to stop counting!!!!

I have one of those tins that needs a tine opener (the £500 one) but if I count them as I put them in (£8 in total!!!!) then I just KNOW I will take them out.

Its going to be a barely managed month next month as it is - If I get too many in there this month I know I will have to open it up and take it out to spend!

But I will jangle it regularly and post on here the noise level!!!! Currently it sounds a bit hollow!

I've just bought a £500 tin Once it's full i'm clearing a debt with it

can I join please, not got any coins yet. Just a thought, don't leave the money boxes anywhere too visible to the burglers! they might be reading this, the terramundi (what is the plural of this?) are very distinctive.

Thinking about buying one from ebay - they do fit £2 coins in then? They all seem to say they are for £1 coins.

Yes you can fit £2 coins in some, but you have to read the description in full to check or ask the seller.

Count me in please, got my first £2 coin today

I returned my dd's mag to the newsagent today as they had already given me the same copy, and I was keeping my fingers crossed they DIDN'T give me the change in a £2 coin, because I needed to buy some stamps! :rolleyes:

New week starts tomorrow, so I may be able to add to my grand total of one!

I went to the shop to get a sandwhich for dinner (don't shoot me) and in the change I got 2! but son has kindly robbed me of 1 as it was the only change in my purse, so instead of being £5.00 down I gave him a coin! but I'm on £6.00 now..............
