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

HOw many pennies would you have to spend on all that sellotape though :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I got a sealed tin from the pound shop too - funnily enough for £1...

giant whiskey bottle ("borrowed" from my dad many moons ago!) for all small change under 20p and pink ceramic 'princess' pig that I bought for a fiver years ago which holds over £100 in £1/£2 coins. i love when it gets heavy cos I know there is lots of money in it. I save my £1/£2 for holiday spending money

I use an old large coffee jar and I glued the lid to the bottle and managed to 'chip' a slit in the lid large enough to take 50ps and £2 coins. Saving money for holiday at the end of the year :j:j

I got a terramundi pot from Christmas to save my £2 coins but dont want to break it open when its full- seems a waste!! Use a big platic buckets for my coppers.

I have a terramundi for my £2 coins and a piggy for my sealed pot challenge - my mum bought me the pig a few years ago:rolleyes:

I've got a terrimundi - hardly used at the mo cause I don't want to fill it and then break it! Also got a ceramic rat money box (cartoon character) and a yellow tin 'dustbin' (size of a baked bean can).

Cool, these are good ideas. I have a a sweet wee 'bang on the door' one that my brother gave me a few years ago; it's not really my style but as he gave it to me I can't get rid of it!

In fact, I'll maybe do a spot of change counting just now; just to pass the time...

I have
* a sealed tin ( double teh size of a normal baked bean tin) for my 5p's, it has a cow on it and can only be opened with a tin opener. From a £1 shop (have some spare).
* a campervan, holds my 1p's & 2p's. Brought from freespirit.
* a pot belly penguin, holds anything not spent in the weekly challenge. Was an xmas gift this year.
* a tiny pink pig, holds nothing. Purchased in error (because of size) on ebay.
* my terr, holds £1 & £2. Purchased on ebay.
