    I put in all my change at end of the day or once i have been shop..usually 2pound coins as i was in 2 pound challenge so carrying that on but in sealed pot..and anything 50p or less lolgoes in
    I think I might start to put my coins in at the end of each day too mumzy, it might start filling up more quickly then! I did find a tweety pie sealed tin at poundland last week lol so I'm saving in that now.
    Hope you have a nice kid free night tonight & lots of rest :)
    Congrats slowlyfading :j & well done artnoble :T even coppers will soon build up :)

    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.

    I am off to search the couch of coins :money:

    I've seen those box's in town. I might get one for all my silver coins. As I don't think I will have to many of them.

    I have got a tall coca cola style bottle for my small coins.
