    I think its simply a method of taking any £2 coins and putting them in a jar for posterity/saving up. At least thats my guess :)

    You should so join!! It makes collecting £2 and 20p's much more motivational and it's interesting to here the stories of the crazy things people do top get their hands on the £2's (like bartering, swapping, doing deals for them and everything hehe). I'm saving £2 to get a couple of my cats IndentiChipped and saving my 20p's to make a donation to charity every £10, currently saving for Cats Protection League.


    So join up! Join up, join up, join up! :D
