    So I decided at the beginning of the year to sell my coin collection. Its not the same collecting coins now as I just dont ever have much cash and I dont find the coins Im looking for. I have sold a few (not many) and this morning pulled out all the £2 and 50ps that are not collectable/ not worth more than face value. and i have £62 quid. I have filled the smaller envelopes, but will need to change up the rest into notes before I stuff as they will just be crazy heavy!
    SO I have filled £3  £5 £6 £8 and will change up the 40 x £2s

    Thank you LMD for running this challenge again, I am enjoying it.

    You are indeed correct, you have 6 filled envelopes so far and this is week 7. Plenty of time to catch up though so panic-ye-not! :)

    So glad you're enjoying it again this year Flowers, I've updated the spreadsheet with your additions. 

    My dad collects 'special' coins, but I'm never convinced they're actually worth anything more than face value.
