    I'm finding it hard to locate these little beggers. Thought I would have loads when I started this. Makes things a little more interesting though!

    I'm finding that too, I thought that I'd be rich in a few weeks! I've found myself trying to work out the best way to pay so that I have a bigger chance of getting a £2. :rolleyes:

    Give it a while and they'll be talking about all these £2 coins gone out of circulation. :D
  • Added 2 coins today that I have acquired over the last couple of days.

    Had been using a borrowed car for the last week and before I returned it, I took it through the local carwash; paid with a tenner and asked if he could give me the change in coins! Although I have saved these coins for a while this does make it more fun.
    I just await mention of a shortage of £2 on 'News at 10' :rotfl:

    Argos have them for £14.99 so I will get one tomorrow.
    Instead of putting it through the machine at sainsburys and losing 7% I am going to start saving the shrapnel and taking it to the bank and changing it for £2 coins (until they mysteriously run out of them!)
