    Hi

    Think i might start this as i had a £2 coin in my change today.

    Talking of banking them. When they first came out my MIL was so excited she put it in the Nat west to keep !!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    She has still not recieved her original £2 coin:rotfl:

    ym

    Oh bless :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I can't bear to part with mine, but I will have to soon as my shelf is about to collapse with the weight! At least it'll go to my holiday! :j

    Have started yippee - got £10 worth, thinking might save as a vet fund, my pets may use some of it to make more money at some point - they are clever like that :)

    Just tried reading this thread but there are sooo many posts and the earlier thread was enormous:eek: . Good Luck to all you £2 savers, here's hoping you find loads:beer:

    Are there any 'rules' for this 'club? I've only seen about 2 £2 coins since Christmas! Would it be 'cheating' to ask for them in the change when shopping or to exchange say a £10 note for 5 at the bank etc:confused: ??? .

    It seems such an easy and quick(except in my case:rotfl: ) way of building up quite a handy little 'pot'.

    Sorry if this question seems really silly:o

    Not posted for ages but am still saving the £2 coins - current total £34. Will use them for treats - books, etc., as I just love browsing Amazon!

    Finally got another one :T - seems like they have vanished out of circulation here - even tho' I released £60 not that long ago. :cry:

    In reply the only rule is that you add your total to your sig at the bottom and let us know how well your doing - if you can really call it a rule.

    As for 'would it be cheating' CHEATING ??? :AWould we do such a thing? :A :rolleyes: err dare I admit it ??? yes we all swap, beg, but not steal them. Get hold of the slippery little things in any legal way, be it asking in change or swaping with OH's etc. You will find the £2's will discover you are saving them and try to either flock to you or hide - but a true £2'er will hunt them down .....

    Just catching up on the above posts and read :
    yellowmonkey: Talking of banking them. When they first came out my MIL was so excited she put it in the Nat west to keep !!!!!!!

    Be fun if we had a way of putting our names on them - then we could post that we had one that one of us had released!!!! - I know very sad individual - but you know how obsessed we get about these coins.... :rotfl:

    (Hey yellowmonkey : you get your user-name from the 'Otherland' series???)

    You could try putting a small blob of nail varnish (or paint) on each one you save and then see when and where they go.
    Mortgage and Debt free but need to increase savings pot. :think:
