    There are currently 14 x £2 coins in my terramundi. (this one http://www.shopcreator.com/mall/productpage.cfm/Terramundi2/BN12/79267) It's nowhere near full :(

    My sister sells Terramundi pots in her gift shop near Newcastle so for anyone in the north east let me know and I'll give you the details - save on the p & p and they're a bit cheaper with her. She has a customer who reckons she can get the money out of hers using a long knife but that's cheating - smashing it is half the fun.:rolleyes:

    Ask her to fill one with £2 coins, and let us know how much it holds :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    i would be wary of putting notes into a teramundi, incase the bank of england withdraws them from circulation, and you have no way to get them out to spend before they become invalid :eek:

    much better to swap it for the value in coins and put these in instead - less likely to be withdrawn than notes. how long ago now since the old 5ps and 50ps changed?

    The ones I've seen are always quite expensive, circa £18.........

    If I spent £18 on a Teramundi I'd have nothing to put in it!!!
    :(
    :confused:
    They seem like a good idea though... must keep my eye's peeled for one
    £2 Coin Savings = £0.23:confused:
