£2 Savers Club Part 5 - 2011

anxious_mum

I wish to lodge a complaint against this thread. Since I (re)started saving £2 coins I have managed to grab a measly ONE! I think all you lot must be nabbing them, even though I do my best to pay with a note if I think I might get a lovely, shiny, golden £2 coin in my change all I get is the poor second cousin, the £1 coin. The stupid thing is, I jump around and squeal like a girl when I get one! I think we should rally the royal mint and ask them to produce more! My holiday spending money is never going to mount up at this rate....... :-)

Just had a look at the Royal Mint website and according to them there are only 345 two pound coins in circulation as of March 2010.

I guess it makes this thread all the more appealing.

How nice, my OH gave me 2 £2 coins today. He was like "guess what I brought for you" and am like "apple pies".......can u believe that was actually my first guess?:) Anyway he said that he knew I was saving them up so after getting it for change he decided to stay without snack and bring them for me....SWEET!:D

Good morning

First of all I got 4 in my change in T*sco :j - I nearly burst!! What is the matter with us!?

Then when I told DD1 she produced 3 more which I bought off her - total is now £30 so I'll bank £20 on Monday.

I know DS has a load but he won't sell them to me - I'm going to have to choose my moment with him!
