Unopenable money tins

I remember having one of these when I was a teenager - it was like a bean tin with a moneybox slot in the top designed for saving £100 - with a little box to tick every time you put a pound in, and it could only be opened with a tin opener. I used it to save my Reading Festival ticket money then, but it seems like it'd be good for the DFW quest - only I haven't seen one in years. Anyone know where I could get one?

Have a look on Ebay
I found this one but there must be others! DFW Nerd #025DFW no more! Officially debt free 2017 - now joining the MFW's!

our local poundshop sells them as do some of the charity shops (think its PDSA)CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0

A lot of the card stalls in our local market sell them - they're much bigger than a normal 400g tin though, I've got one at the minute (see signature) which I'm using to save towards a new car.
My parent's ALWAYS buy me one for Christmas. 27 years old and my parents still encourage me to save in a piggy bank!0 -

Try Ebay. I dont know how to post links but I got one off a seller with a shop called Kanelpuk
They sell all different ones in different sizes. The larger ones hold £500 in £1 coins.0 -
OH and I put everything less than a £1 coin in, it's unbelievable how little you miss those little coins but they really mount up!!0
