    Not a member of the two pound club, but i have a question.

    Does any of you have the Rugby £2.00 coin, as my son had one hes an avid rugby fan and unfortunately left it in the kitchen where i pais milkman with it.

    I will send another £2.00 coin and pay postage.

    So if anyone can help - before he notices. Sounds daft but it was his pride and joy - took it everywhere with him.

    Thanks
    I haven't got any yet but if I do I'll let you know

    I don't think this club is a good idea...Aren't you worried about all the interest you are losing out on!

    Just looked in my wallet... no luck!

    Why not try asking in your bank?

    I am certainly planning on depositing my savings into a separate account (linked to my savings account) to make sure that I earn interest and don't waste a penny! On the other hand, it would be a great feeling to count out hundreds of £2 coins a few years from now! Its the principle of putting away little bits that you don't really notice and seeing them add up to a sum that can be put towards something, and its just a bit of fun ;)

  • I put mine away every month into a bonus account, if i put in at least £20 a month and make no witdrawals on top of the ordinary interest at the end of the year I get a bonus interest. So I'm not missing out on any interest, I do however hate handing over my £2 coins even if they are going into my account!
