    An interesting read:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48201920

    Why the bank stopped making 20p coins in 2017 (plus £2 coins)

    Yes, I have just been reading about it. :eek:
    Received four more coins today.

    Unfortunately my gorgeous pot has broken and is being held together with selotape so it can no longer hold the full year's collection of coins. I've had it for several years and it has just gotten fragile with dropping coins into it (it's a pottery one). So, I've decided to bank when necessary and get a new pot in next January's sales! My birthday is November though, so I'm going to add it to my birthday list - you never know I might get lucky and not have to buy one myself :rotfl:

  • Afternoon,

    1 x £2 coin banked in my terramundi today, just a plain boring one though.

    My terramuni is beginning to feel a bit heavier now :) x

    I am still here but have had no £2 coins until today - finally got 2 in Aldee which are safely potted :) I did empty my pot and count up but I forgot the total as it was ages ago - i'm happy to have a surprise at Xmas Dx
