    Emptied out a money box that had 5, 10, 20 & 50 cents in it. Totalled $16.00 - have got it all ready to bank.

    Now . . .

    found a smaller container (for faster results LOL) for the $2 coins - and have made a small start - $6.00 :D

    Argos have one for £14.99 if that helps.

    That is where I got mine, the science museum one.

    I keep taking all the money out and putting it back through. Big kid!

    Got 1 with my change from putting euromillions on (if i won do you think they'd pay me in £2 coins?) and i found 2 that i'd 'hidden' in a pot so that means i'm in double figures now. Yipee :j

    And to keep me from spending them, my terramundi is on its way :p
    I'm in the £2.00 club! terramundi cracked open Christmas Day £748 :p Started a new one Boxing Day!
