    I claim 2ps in a sock. Who wants to join?
    Actually I don't like the smell of coppers. I'm switching to 5ps.

    And I won't keep them in anything, just stacked up in a tall pile on the table.

    thats a good one grandson always fetches 20p change from his bus fare still give him pound next daynext sweets will be smarties mind u last box i got him was adifferent shape will they fit in?

    Smarties now come in a hexagonal box, certainly large enough for a 20 pence piece! I know there's one more side on a 20pence, but there should be no problem in fitting them in! And £15 eh?! That's very good, I'm off to buy me a tube now! :j

  • I bought a box today!! But means I spent 40p!! D'oh!! They are now hexagonal, but I have checked, the 20p piece does fit!! Just slide it in the little slot and they also don't really fall out either! :j

    Thanks for the good response! :)
  • I used to save them in an old vitamin C tube! I could easily start again! Count me in...

    Very good! I am liking the motivation of everyone! Keep it up!
  • I have a one gallon whisky bottle that I started collecting 20p coins in - so long ago I can't even remember when! When it was a third full a pal of mine counted it and it had > £300 in it. It's now about half-full (or half empty?) but is going so slowly I've just started also putting 10p coins in also.

    My whisky bottle

    Not decided what it's all for... but when I have enough £2 coins I plan on changing them to 20p coins to speed up the process...

    Now ther's a good idea.

    I can either find some young child to eat the smarties before I use to carton (eurgh), or wait till my cold/flu is over and use the vitamin C tube.

    I already collect up all my loose change in a box with compartment type bits, so they're seperate... Does this mean I am automatically entitled to join every club going? :D
