    December total is 3 coins all plain.
    I have added up my haul for 2020 & it comes to £880  :) The majority of that was collected in the first 3 months of the year when I was still working & a cafe owner would swap with me. 
    I’m now retired so won’t be as lucky in future collecting as many.

    Happy New Year to you all, take care & #staysafe  :)

    Thank you Grumpyoldmoo for giving us an update. Well done on collect nearly £900 this year. Do you have any plans for it?

    Thanks for posting us all an update. Wow £66 in December alone! You have done well Nellie75.
    Hope you have a successful time in collecting £2 coins in 2021

    Hello! #39 checking in to declare a total of £80 in £2 coins for the 2020 challenge. Because of this strange situation in which we have found ourselves, I haven't used cash since March so I've not been able to grow my collection, but I'm hoping cash won't completely disappear from society and I will be able to start collecting again in 2021! Thank you for letting me be a part of your challenge and well done to everyone for some amazing totals and to everyone who has managed to save anything during a really difficult year. I wish you health, hope and happiness for 2021 xxx

    I hope it won't be long before you will be off exploring again. ✈️🚢 Our passports are taking a holiday for a while due to my husband's health. 😔

    Good evening CassieLT and happy new year thank you for updating us with your total for the year. This year has been challenging on many fronts including the gathering of £2 coins. Even though I know that you won't be using cash to start the year, I hope you will join us next year. We have all reduced our targets to reflect this. Gem-gem

    Hullo #34 checking in - with a beginner-in-time-of-covid stash of £32, 4 of which were pretties.
    With the hoped for normality emerging, I plan to try harder - but WAH rather limits my exposure to coinage. Still, it's fun, & I have £32 to spend on plants!

    Life being what it is, my £2 collection is being hammered feeding the launderette machines as the machine is bust but under warranty & they can't get out for another week... Happily the pretties are stashed elsewhere, and mostly immune from the clean socks requirement.
