    that's some amount Rubber Duck and only since Feb 06.

    how did you collect that many??? are you a bank robber!!!!

    just 2 more for me today!!!!

    I have to say i cheat slightly by asking for them in change or getting notes changed whenever I can but i find it a good way to save. I would never have saved that much without the use of the £2 coins.

    Back collecting again now after banking the last lot hopefuly make it to £1000 before the end of the year!!

    Cheers rubber duck. At leats your honest about it and as you said it's a good way to save.

    i got 3 today and decided to empty the terramundi, with the help of some tweezers, which i had noted somebody else had used on this thread to empty theirs!!!

    and in it was a magnificent amount of £290!!!!!!

    this means that since 1st June 2006, i've saved £404. Woo hoo. i just can't decide whether to bank or put them back in??!?!?!?

    How much did your terramundi weigh with them in? I'd be interested to know as I haven't got a clue how much is in mine!!
