    Just with someone mentioning coin sorters sure I seen them for £20 in Boots the other day and on 3 for 2 as gifts aswell. Can't get Boots site to work for some reason tonight or I would check. Might be worth putting on a wish list for those who hate counting coins.

    We used to have NatWest banks in my school, was done when the 'NatWest Pigs' were out :) Used to think it was great, never hear of it now.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb

    I know I wish I had kept them all, have a few somewhere (probably in my sons toy box as he played with them) but all without stoppers.

    I use an old pickled onion jar to save mine. It's a smell you just can't get rid of. The smell of the copper plus the years old pickled onion vinegar is one of most disgusting things to have on your hands and it takes ages to wash it out. QUOTE]

    Good to see you back GP:rolleyes: I suppose it would be more pleasant if you emptied the old vinegar out of the jar before you put the coins in.

    I had a smirnoff vodka bottle, one of the huge pub ones, and it was great, put all my 5p coins in (nothing else would fit) and because it looked funky it got left out on view, my mates used to ll put their 5p coins in too! !!!!!! to get them out though, you'd have to shake the dam thing for hours!
