    i like it as i don't miss £2 here and there, so you are really saving out of your budget.
    plus it reminds me of being a kid, and the excitement of saving up small change until i could buy something big that i wanted.

    Just got another 1 - total now 3 = £6. Yay :smileyhea

    Yes she certainly will - she only got the coin by making hair bows & selling them to her school friends for £1 each! Last night I got my ancient sewing machine out & showed her how to make them neater & quicker -she was making them by hand...I can see a cottage industry here! ;)

    Whoopee

    just got another 2 x £2 coins from the sandwich van lady!

    Told her I was saving them and she said that apparently there are some rare ones out there that are worth some money - yes, I said, £2. No, she says, there are some where the queen has earrings or a necklace ???. We looked at the two and one does have a necklace and the other doesn't....... There is a differnece in age of the coins, so I guess that explains it. I'm very sceptical of these things, but you never know.. Any numismatists out there who can shed light on this??!?
