    Hi everyone - I've been lurking on MSE Forums for a while and finally decided I want to get stuck in - so apologies if I'm doing this wrong!

    I know I'm late to the party on this challenge but I'd really like to join if possible - I've got a "wedding" pot that my £2's are going into, so far only two coins but I'm determined to hunt down more! :)

    Welcome Poppytattoo to the £2 savers club. Hope you manage to find lots of £2 coins for your ‘wedding’ pot. I will assign you a number. Please go to page one, post two to check it out.
    Good luck!

    Hi, I just wanted to ask what the general consensus was regarding the rarer £2 coins in circulation? Are they worth keeping or trying to flog for a small profit? I have a great fire of London coin which is quite high up the rarity index but I watched one recently on an internet auction and it only reached £3.20 with free postage - hardly seems worth it!


    I've also got a Brunel Paddington Station but apparently they're common.


    Thanks :)
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.
    Challenge - be 14 Stone BY XMAS!

  • If it's not too late, can I join this challenge please.

    Trying to cut down on using cash this year but have saved up £8 so far.

    No specific usage in mind may be Christmas or pay for car tax/service due in November.

    Doing a little better this year, managed to be ruthless and cunning so I'm on £18.

    (For ruthless and cunning, read 'carefully plan shopping / petrol buying to make sure the change is always more than £2' :p )
