I have one of these tins too so i can't tell if I'm sitting on a mini fortune of collectables!



we also have a "loose change" savings jar although we tend to not add it up until later in the year. Never thought of giving it to the kids though. Just get them to count it! :rotfl:


Oh forgot to add I have just been given 2 x £2 coins in the co-op. So technically the bread roll to go with my soup has now cost £4.49!! :eek: funnily enough, if you use the self service machine they give out single £1 coins but this was given to me by a real live person.

My hubby and I save 2 and 1 pennies in a M money box (free from Metro bank). We have been saving 5p's in a cider jar (for 4 years - it is nearly full). I save £2 coins and hubby saves 50p's. Not much left in our purse.

im not necessarily saving £2 coins but definitely saving


At the moment I have 2 savings jars on the go, the first jar is for 5p, 2p and 1p and the other I save 10p and 20p, end the end of each day I throw in my loose change, unless I know that the kids are gonna need the change for bus fair or anything else. This is on top of the monthly savings that I put away anyhow.


Obviously I am in a position to be able to do this, but anything that you can afford to save is a bonus.



Every quarter we sort and count the 5p, 2p and 1ps are divided equally and give to my 2 children, the 10p and 20p I change into notes and put away for holiday spend or save towards Christmas.


I just hate spending money on random rubbish

Welcome 'A little madam' if you would like to join us please let me know and I will issue you a number.
Happy collecting.

I do most of my spending on my credit card ( and of course I always 'pay in full') this also has an impact on my collecting. I have to rely on hubby to bring them home plus the ones from the joint account.

Saying that, today I joined hubby for shopping and I struck gold, we came home with five £2 coins. Woo Hoo!

Just found this group! I have been saving 2-pound coins for several years. Usually, when they reach £50 I bank them. I have been given one of those impenetrable saving jars so I will start using that instead of my regular old tin. This year I aim to just them let accumulate until December. I also save 50p coins, interestingly those add up to substantial sums faster!
