    Just started today, maybe a bit late - I'm trying to save most coins I get (Yes, even the coppers!). I have 3 seperate jars.

    I have one jar for £1 coins, another for Silver coins and the other is for the copper coins! (May help buy road tax at end of year or something!).

    I'm not going to open them until December and then buy something nice for the new year!

    Simon.

    I was going to ask if i'm the only one not peeking till the end of the year;) But you've answered my question. Are we fools for missing out on earning interest tho?!?!!?:p


    I find it hard not to dip into my savings when I can see my balance online.I find it easier to hide it in my sealed pot.I might be missing out on the interest but I love the challenge and giving the tin a shake to see how heavy it is.I have been known to try and peak through the slot just to add to the excitement :D
