£2 Savers Club for 2020

DigForVictory

I got a pretty! The jigsaw design (Act of Union between Scotland & England says Wikipedia) - OK I asked the lady at Asda to change a note for me which is cheating sort of, but a pretty!

17 coins for me this July! All plain barring one Brunel! I hope August brings a similar amount!

Another pretty (St Paul’s framed by searchlights,60th anniversary of VE Day) & a plain one for the change of a note!
(Is that unsporting or not?)

Obtained 2 x £2 coins today. Both plain so neither went into my pot.

Hi everyone My £2 coins are in a terrimundi pot, it’s getting near full and very heavy! I’m not going to crack it open till it’s full so I can get no more in! It’s slow since lockdown 😢 I’m just wondering after reading here about picture coins, when I do crack it open wonder if I should be looking out for any special coins? I was thinking this pot when opened would be a nice treat for myself and OH weekend away possibly? Anyone know how much they hold ? Thanks everyone😀

Hello all. Long time no speak. What a funny few months it has been.

I have still been potting coins but no idea how many or when 

Think when I cash them I am going to bank 50% for me and then the other 50%  is going to a local wildlife centre who are really struggling for funds during these times. I really hope they survive as it's one of my favourite little places to spend a bit of time

Hope everyone has managed to stay safe and well

Regarding the coins - if you google £2 coin rarity you will which ones you may want to keep hold of. I don't know if anyone has sold any of the rate coins on eBay. I once went to an antique fair an there was a stall selling £2 coins at more then their face value. 

Some pots can hold £1k with of £2 coins. 

Good luck.

Giving 50% to a wildlife fund is a very nice thing to do. A lovely investment if the place is special to you.
