  • Welocome to one and all.

    I'm still hunting them out.

    They're not coming as fast as I thought (or wouldlike) but it's all fun and games at the end of the day (with a little bit of serious saving thrown in for good measure)

    We have been saving £2 coins for a while.....break them out each year for spending money on hols. Just counted this year's haul & so far have £62 (since October).

    Hopefully added this in my signature (first attempt at doing this....)

    My count is now £8, so I'm starting up a signature line with the total.

    Still no £2 coins but I've found a little tin and, optimistically a larger one to empty it into once full!

    At this rate I'm going to have to ask for one in my change. Is this cheating???

    No I don't think it's cheating to ask for them in change - they are as rare as hen's teeth otherwise!

    Good luck
