Money Boxes

I think it's a great idea, that way everytime the money box becomes full, you can easily estimate how much is in each money box

Hi Everyone,

I was in my local woolworths yesterday and i saw the small money boxes that you have to open with a tin opener for 75p if anyone was looking for some for christmas pressies, there were a few designs aswell!!!
I managed to find about £3.50 in change lying round in the pockets of my bf trousers yesterday!! Well its all going towards our holiday next year so im sure he wont mind!!!

I've got a pigsback pink piggy for my £2's and one of those paint-your-own piggies for 20ps-and-smaller-coins and ds has a sheep for his pocket money. I might ask Santa for a terrimundi, but I hate the thought that I will have to rbeak it at some point

I have a big tin (from pound shop) that you need a tin opener to open. I stick loose change in here and anything left over from the weekly budget so there's an occassional fiver too. this gets opened at the beginning of December and goes towards christmas, I already have next years tin sitting waiting...

hmmm
i have an old coffee jar that all the change goes into, i dont have a lid or anything on it so it often get raided with the £2 and £1 coins going first.
i need more jars with the lids gaffa taped on so i cant get into them and get my oh to cut a slit into the llid i think

benbenandme, you can get the money out without breaking a terramundi, you just have to devote the best part of a day to it. There's a definite technique to it. It's all in the wrist action

I used to have a money box with 5 slots (got it from leeds market)..now only have a copper jar,
:eek: i think the jar is over 20 years old

We have a money box that we put 1ps,2ps, and 5ps in and another we put 10ps and 20ps in (although we don't save all of these, just if we have a purse/pocket full).

Then a 3rd money box has the money we've found (on the ground, in trolleys/venders etc) , we were given that one for Christmas last year so I thought I'd put it to use! This money goes in my Olympic Challenge.

I like the fun of sorting it all and finding out how much is there and bagging it up every few months so this system works well with us.
