Think they have left Edinburgh now. Nothing for almost two weeks

Sorry I did not know there was a thread like this and have scanned a few posts to ask my question and wondered if anyone could advise based on their experience

my question is " i have saved up £292, in £2 coins it was for a specific holiday and I am due to go in two weeks time, this is my spending money and I need to convert it to Euros. How do others cash in their savings? I am not sure the Halifax would accept it all in one transaction? Has anyone any advise please?

Morning peeps,

First of all I would like to say a huge thanks to Observer for holding the fort and welcoming the newbies to the thread…thanks hun for keeping it going whilst I was AWOL.

Secondly, I would like to apologise to the newbies and regular posters on the thread for going AWOL and not being able to update the thread/list. This was due to family reasons but I am now back.

I am pleased to say that I have now finally updated the list and would like to welcome to the club

I should add that you don’t have to save them all up and bank them at Christmas, some people bank them as and when they have a certain amount. Also if you find that you need to use some of the £2 coins that you have saved…don’t worry about it, this thread is just for fun and not serious in anyway so don’t be too hard on yourself.

I want to say that I have used any £2 coins that I had saved in my terramundi, we ended up being very short of funds so they came in handy. I have sort of started again with the saving but haven’t found any recently.

Well done to those with their savings and findings, you are all doing brilliantly.

Happy hunting

Hi Tea, thank you for the welcome

I originally planned to save my coins so that Little Miss Gap and I could have a holiday next year. However, I am so close to paying off the end of my loan I changed my mind and decided to bank my coins monthly to add to the overpayment. Once it is paid off we can have a guilt-free holiday. July brought £20 and August brought £16 but I have had nothing for ages

Oh well. Nice that you are back
