    i used to collect 20ps as change for the laundrette when i was in uni (i used the mini MnMs tubes) and they add up quite quickly. plus it doesnt make as much of a dent in your wallet as a £2 coin

    What you do is:

    When you log in you should see a link near near you name saying private messages, click on this and you will/should get a page with a column on the left hand side sayin, Control Panel and just underneath that there should be word, sayin Edit Signature click on this this and enter the text in the box and click Save Signature.

    Done

    Hope this helps!

    Hi
    I still collect the old way, with £1 coins in a sock. I think it was because Charles Bronson filled a sock with coins in the first Death Wish film and used it as a weapon before he had a gun. I feel a lot safer with my pound coins around:-)

    I also bid 50p in an auction once and won an empty giant whisky bottle. It is now home to every coin that is not a £1 coin or a 5p coin (5p's are special and get fed to the silver pig - a bank given to my wife when she was a child, if I remember correctly)

    Just shows you the fun you can have with money. Sometimes we get to spend it but we feel bad and miss the counting sessions, especially the bottle which holds about £50 even when only a quarter full.

    Did I mention the other box with the European looking 50p coins (you know, the ones with the circle of hands) and the wallet with a few £20 notes that we cashed from the other socks and places. Oh, it just gets so exciting... I'm off to count something.

    Cheers. Bob.

    Hi
    Just found another box with some of those Jack Nicklaus FIVERS in it. Anything different usually makes a good collectable saving theme. Keep saving. Cheers. Bob.

    Quick sell them on ebay :D . Not sure if they worth more than face value but they might be to some collector as there was only a limited number.
