Money boxes for saving coins

What type do you have? Where did you get it?

I've got a really big whiskey jar for everything under 10p and I've got a money tin (the type you need a can opener to open) for my £2 coins. Got the whiskey jar from the local pub and the tin from e-bay.

I have a pink pig called Percy who saves 20ps for us. I got him from the local chemist in sale about three years ago.

We also have a glass blue pig with no stopper for £2 coins. Not sure how we're going to get them out yet because they only just fit in and you can't get them out with a knife.

I've also inherited a Mr Happy today as my DD bought an ATM style moneybox in the sales and gave me her old money box.

I love the terrumundi style ones but couldn't justify the cost. Are you thinking of buying a money box?

Yup. I want to start putting everything that is under 50p in a little jar, save it up until the end of the year and either put it in my savings account, or use t for Christmas pressies. :money:

I have my grandad's wade tortoise money box. I remember him saving 20ps in it when I was quite small. This was big money then as 20p = 4/-!
I use it now for the money i pick up in the street, so far this year I have 5p.

I also have my 'sealed pot' for loose change, which will be opened and banked at the end of March. This is a giant 'coke' can in plastic which I bought in the 99p shop.

I got a big storage jar from Ikea years ago which i use for coppers and silvers under 50p. I also have a cow money jar that someone bought me over 2 years ago which i now use for £2 coins. My mum bought me a little owl one (as owls are wise and i need to start being money wise!! :rotfl: ) which I have in my desk at work.

I've got a huge whisky bottle for my 1p's, 2p's and 5p's; and a tin from the pound shop for my sealed pot challenge, which I'm putting my 10p's, 20p's and 50p's into

I picked up a large pink piggy from the local Cancer research a couple of years ago. We emptied him at the weekend and there was £13 worth of coppers in him!

Just seal a box with 10000000000000 layers of sellotape and save all those pennies you would have spent on a money box !!!!
