I got one today! Post Office kindly provided one in my change when I sent some ebay stuff. Up to £24 since 6th Jan - not bad... and hardly noticed them go from my purse, if i can keep that up for 2007 I will have saved over £240...MFW #185

Where does everyone save their coins? Do you have special tins?
I have my :footie: Lincoln City FC :footie: money box, in the shape of a shirt, from about 10 years ago. Hole in the bottom is an awkward shape so it can be hard getting the coins out again!Little man arrived 13 Dec 20120 -

That seems like an important feature! Either impossible or difficult to retrieve the coins.... I'll try to find something suitable, at the moment it's too tempting as they're in a pocket in my bag.0 -

I had stopped colected at the back end of last year and managed to collect the total you can see below. I have just decided to start again so a few have disappeared into my sealed tin this week. We'll see how things go this year!!!"That's a big 10 - 4 Good Buddy"£2 Coin Savers Club

WOW! Well done runner duck! Although, if you save that much a month, start banking them each month to earn lovely interest as you go! I am seriously impressed - have you thought of joining the Olympic Challenge on the Debt Free Wannabe board?MFW #185

Hello, can I join? Been reading this thread for a while and always thought it was a good idea, yesterday I got a £2 coin and put it in my loose change tin so thought that'd be the start - not sure what I'm gonna use them for yet, but probs christmas treats that I can never afford to do at the time ie: cinema tickets/panto tickets/ice skating, think it'll be my 'family treat jar', just need to source and purchase a tin that I can't get into0
