The £2.00 Coin Savers Club

Hooray - only 1 more to go to get into 2 figures - daughter has just 'sold' me another for 2x£1. I think I will stick it in my savings account when I get to £20 - don't want to miss out on all that interest - mind you, I wonder if that will affect my motivation? Perhaps I need to see my little stash growing...

Finally made it into double figures.

Not sure wether to stash it or save it.

any recommendations?

I`m having to grit my teeth so I don`t ask for £2 coins in my change. 2 more yesterday

I bank mine every time I reach £100 worth, since it's a nice round figure

A few years ago I saved nearly £400 in £2.00 coins, I used them to pay for a holiday to scotland! As I saved them when I got them it didn't really feel like saving and I didn't feel any stretch in my finances. So get saving, they mount up really quick and go a long way! ( about 300 miles in my case)

My dad tried to help me save and every now and again He would come up and say here are another few £2.00 coins - it took me a while to realise he was taking them from my £2.00 money box!

I'm really enjoying being a member of the club, and saving my £2's, but I'm beginning to wonder whether I should be a member of the club or not..

My problem is that there is this lovely spreadsheet showing how much we've all saved, and I can see that it's really satisfying to see how much the club as a whole has saved. BUT what I want to do is to put all my £2's in a pot and forget about them - if I know how much is in the pot, it will tempt me to spend it and I'll know it's there! - what I really want is a nice surprise when I open the pot after a year or so and find several hundred pounds.

Is it OK to stay in the club but not post or count how much I've saved? :rolleyes:

I've found another good container for £2 coins for people who don't have a piggy or old style camera-film cannisters. It's Lidl's heb/spice jars (the neck is too small on Knorrs & Lidl's are cheaper in the first place!).

I can paint lines on it to see how much is in there - ha! Better than £24.99 for a coin sorter!

Hello Jobbinmusician,
Please don’t leave the £2 Coin Savers Club….pretty please… Just change your Signature to £0.0 and add something like “Keeping amount saved a surprise”. I will enter this in the Savings Chart. Two other members are in a similar situation in that they have Terramundis with unknown amounts in them but each weighs several Lbs – phew! :dance:
