  • Thanks Greenfingers.
    Have done this in the past and have put the money towards Premium Bonds on the basis it was now 'extra money' which may as well be put towards something and not flittered away.
    So far this year I have £28.

  • Did you know that if you find a £2 coin with the Queen wearing a necklace, it is probably worth more than £2 to a collector !!! Turns out they did not make many of these, and can be quite sort after. Worth haning onto these alone, as hopefully will go up in value.
    keep smiling,

    Oh no! Mine are all in my paper mache money box and I can't get to them!

    I'll try to remember when I break it open though. Thanks!

    It's a myth I'm afraid, from the Royal Mint website
    The £2 coin was eventually launched on 15 June 1998, when millions of both versions of the coin were released. Because of the two different portraits, however, many confusing stories have arisen. The most common misconception is that the £2 coin bearing the Raphael Maklouf portrait of the Queen in which she is wearing a necklace, was made in very modest numbers, Since millions of these coins were minted this is simply not the case.
