    I reckon my terramundi's about half full now...I'm investigating methods of *breaking* it without smashing it so that I'll be able to use it again. I really like the design of it, so I don't want to ruin it :D

    If you hold it upside and use a flat bladed knife to poke through the slot you can get your coins out without breaking it :D

    Yes I have done this a few times :o

    Didnt get any £2 so I cheated....and put 2 £1 coins in instead...that's not a bad thing though is it?
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    I've tried this on someone else's suggestion and all I can say is it'd take me so long that £2 coins would probably not be legal tender when I'd finished!

    I might have to investigate drilling a hole in the base (and trying not to crack the rest of it). Does seem slightly *mean* though...the whole point of these is to smash them :D. Maybe I'll just do that and buy a new one with some of the proceeds.

    I got a flathead screwdriver & hammer and made the slot a bit bigger so they fall out :o

    Been away since Sunday, got back this morning, had 6 x £2 coins in my purse so have added these to my £2 sealed pot, will open it when it's full.

    Will update my total in my sig.
