  • I have done this for years, saving my £2 coins as rainy day money. My rule to myself was I couldn't ask for them but if I was given any in my change I was not allowed to spend them again (or hand them back) on occasions it does make a small purchase very expensive but you pays your money you takes your chance.

    Did you know that £2 coins fit into a 35mm film camera tub exactly - each tub holds 18 coins and when it was full I would seal it and hide it in a box no-one else knew about.

    When I didn't just have a rainy day but monsoon weather in my life I had to reach for the rainy day money and had amassed a massive £1800 in £2 coins. I hadn't even realised they had built up to such an amount.

    Go for it everyone

    wow I agree mheymans - what a lovely suprise. I am doing rubbish at this challenge as haven't had any yet but seen as I am doing NSDs and have had 7/10 already this doesn't give much opportunity! I am also doing £365 in 365 days which is going ok and sealed pot so I live in hope when I actually do venture to the shops!
