Another two little gems added after I told the shop assistant that I saved £2 coins. Now up to £24. One is a William Shakespeare one (the comedies I believe) :j

Welcome again Dr Squeeze. You have been assigned no 32 this year. Good luck with achieving your target.

Hi Dr Squeeze, I am afraid that I need to change your number to no. 33. I had accidentally given the same number to both you and Fatrab.
So Fatrab is no. 32 and you are no. 33. I am a clot!

Fatrab and Dr Squeeze please except my apologies for the muddle.
All sorted on post no 2.

I'd like to join please.

I save my £2 coins in a large smarties tube, the kind produced at Christmas, A £2 coin fits just in this tube and a full one is in the region of £100.

Welcome IDProtected,
I never realised that a large smarties tube could hold so many £2 coins. You have been assigned no 35. Good luck.

I wonder why they're so scarce GordonGed ?:rotfl::rotfl:

How many pots and jars are there with them in do you think?

Yes, and I’ve got a funny feeling that they are about to get even rarer!:D

We have been saving £2 coins for about 10 years. We’ve used them for spending money for 3 holidays to the USA. The last pot we filled was broken on Christmas Eve (this time I dropped it by mistake as it was too heavy) & there was £1084 in it! It had taken us 2 years to save that

Wow £1084, you are going to give our super £2 saver Westie a run for his/her money.

This is a great idea! We were given a money saving pot, which, when full of £2 coins, should contain £1,000. After two years we emptied it (nearly full!) and had over £800. This we changed for 1000 Euros, and this travels with us in a separate envelope, marked "Treats". This is to be used for those things that we'd usually consider too expensive, but we would like to buy/try/do.
We took the money with us on a trip to France and Italy, and we still have most of it left. Not sure if it's an MSE fan thing, or living in Yorkshire, but we are very reluctant to spend it all! Naturally the pot is back in action again. Trouble is, £2 coins seem rather rare.

I last swapped mine up for Canadian dollars, but unlike you I didn’t save it for treats and I didn’t come back with any.

You lucky thing, I haven’t got that one.
