  • Hello all,

    Am a relative newbie to this site so am a bit late joining in with the £2 coin savings. I'll sign up now. Already have £4! Surely there's going to be a shortage soon!!

    Welcome Dora!! :hello:
    The shortage just makes it all the more exciting to get one :rotfl:
    Some of us deposit them into savings when they build up a bit, earns some interest but also puts them back into circulation. And then we can collect them all over again!!

    Happy saving! :)

    Well one was legit cos i got it in my change, and i took 4 bags of pennies to PO and asked for 2.00 coins!!!!


    Ooooooo Tomorrow I'm going to go through my change, and see if I can do this at the post office too!

    Managed to get another today, which brings the grand total to £4 !!! DH thinks I am mad to do this, but need to make sure my pot is well hidden!!

    I started Monday when I got 2 then another 3 today so that's £10 - I'm hoping there's not going to be quite so many around :think: .
