Well, I just can't get my grubby hands on any at the moment. I'm sure things will change, but I'm getting impatient. I look forward to hearing them land safely in my pot :rotfl:

Hubby came home with four x two pound coins today.
Florence nightingale and Isambard Kingdom Brunel coin included.

No £2 coins since 15/5/19. Total found that month was £12 worth. All were plain. Current total collected this year is £36.

Finally found one (well, hubby found one) so that has been popped safely into the pot for safe keeping. Bingo tonight so maybe get hold of some more!

Hubby came home with two more coins. Both plain.

None at bingo tonight (did have a small win though) but I've taken out my cash for shopping this week so will see what Mr T can do with the self service checkouts. I've also found Mr A to be quite good too.

Lovely idea for a challenge, Gem-gem:T. I know I'm late to the party (as usual) but can I join in for what's left of the year please?


I'm not saving for any particular purpose or aiming for any specific total. Now I'm finally debt free (and what a long slog it was getting there:eek:) I just want to be a saver instead of a spender:j. I've been using my contactless debit card for most of my spending but am going to have to go back to good old-fashioned cash again if I want to find any £2 coins.


Before I had debts I used to pop £2 coins into a pot and it was amazing how quickly they added up. When I was really skint I was scratching round for every coin I could find just to manage day-to-day living:o. If I ever came across a £2 coin in those days I felt I'd won the lottery:rotfl:


Just a query about why people mention specific coins, such as Brunel or Shakespeare Tragedies.. I know some have a higher monetary value than the £2 but what do people do with them? Sell them on eBay or something?

Hi, finally got 2 coins both plain - one in my change from Mr M and one in a works birthday collection which I swapped!
Noella - I don't know the answer to your query but welcome
