Just got myself a sealed tin from the market for £1, it is round and has a £20 note on it:p. All my coins i was saving in an empty roses tin have gone in the sealed pot, counted about 150 odd coins mostly 2's and 1's thou. Gonna start sticking coins in at evening as well 50p and under going in mine.
I found myself paying with larger coins and notes today to keep the smaller coins in my wallet to stick in my new tin, hope the feeling stays with me for the rest of the year.
