Good morning,
I haven't had a £2.00 coin for ages, I think partly because everywhere is asking for card payments and partly because I'm being frugal. Anyone else had this problem?

Hello everyone,
Katie, I had this very problem (on both counts), but I think I'm going to have to start using cash again and brave the self-service points in shops which I hate but I want the £2 coins!
Managed to get my hands on one plain but beautiful £2 coin in the change from my Nanna's shopping (she still pays cash!) so I'm off the mark! xxx

One plain coin from the Post Office this morning!

Maybe we should start anther thread to run alongside this one ... to keep cash usage going. I paid cash the other day and the woman on the till looked at me with complete contempt. She also gave me far too much change - I’m only 47 but it scares me that the younger generation can’t work out change from £20!

I desperately needed washing powder so sent the children to the local shop. They came home with a plain £2 coin in my change!

I also have the same problem. Only spending at the moment is an online food delivery. Which doesn't produce any. 

I should email S@insburys suggesting that adding a new line - £2 coins 🤪

Won £2 on a scratch card, so another coin for the pot. Shame the £2 jackpot didn’t have more zeros on end of it

Yes, that is a shame. Did you double your money? Or break even?

7 more plain coins potted. 2 in my change and then won £10 on a scratchcard so asked for it in coins. 

Glad to have made a good start as another lockdown might make it  trickier to get hold of them again but I will keep plodding on. 

Stay safe all

👏 7 coins - well done. That is nearly 5% of your target.

Well done on getting off the starting block. First 1% saved. 👏
