    I've been doing this for a while now, save all my £2 coins in my little VW Camper money box.

    I also regularly empty the change in my purse into my large empty vodka bottle, only coins I keep in my purse are £1 coins, got a quite a bit saved :)

    Hello Dawn-Co
    I stash my £2's in a little piggie which I won from the local radio station. She is only little so doesn't hold much - hence my monthly banking regime. And it re-circulates those little gold beauties ready for me to harvest the following month. Claremylove
