    Great minds think alike :D. The pig was £15, it's ceramic, huge and pink hehe. You can get them in silver and gold too, it's a stopper one.

    I'm saving my 1, 2 and 5c coins (am in Eurozone), not sure how long I've been doing it, maybe 6 weeks or so? But already it's up to about €4, it's a little thing but my aim is to buy myself a book I want when I get to €10.
