    Hi all,
    i was just looking at my £2 coin collection and I realised that I haven't got any picture coins for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. !!!!!!!!  I don't buy them uncirculated.
    What about the rest of you? Do you have coins from these years? If so, Did you buy them or get them randomly in your change? 
    Can anyone give me any tips.

    Thanks Westie983,
    Yes, hopefully they will appear soon. I was surprised by how many I was missing. I have four plain ones in my purse at the moment.

  • Hi all
    i hope you have all been good and healthy during lockdown. I haven’t been using cash so haven’t received and £2coins but I started back work on Wednesday and I’ve banked 10 plain coins since then and another 4 plain ones tonight.  Hopefully I’ll get some more next week.

    Abolition of slavery £2 coin picked up yesterday. Swapped with hairdresser. Could have also had eight plain £2 coins. It was very hard turning them down.

    Hey savers!

    Haven't managed to get my mitts on any £2 coins for an absolute age due to trying not to spend any money but had to pop on today as I found a beautiful shiny plain £2 coin just staring up at me in the street! Obviously it needed a good wash but I've given it a safe home in my tin and my new total is £78! I'm a very happy Cazzie! :smiley: xxx

    Added one £2 to my pot. I am still in shielding so rely on hubbie remembering not to spend the £2 coins he gets. My £2 coins will be paying for our Christmas food. I keep adding them to the sealed container so not sure how much is there.
