Re: Where have all the £2 coins gone?

Well round our way , they are in abundance .
Suspect it is due to people like Mr A cashing in what he has been saving all year ready for Christmas .
I always used to think it a bit naff, but am going along now and saying "Yes it does help with Christmas ".

Re: Where have all the £2 coins gone?

My Daughter has most of them, she collects them. Mine, her own & anyone elses. She puts them in a tin money box that has to be opened with a tin opener, that way she doesn't spend them until the tin is full. Last time she opened one, she had nearly £500 in it.

Re: Where have all the £2 coins gone?

I hate the£2 coin, although I haven't got a rational explanation for doing so.
Don't use cash much, must be my still as yet unfound royal connections.
I shop online or pay for diesel and supermarket shop via card.
Just remembered. pay cash at Subway or McDonalds but you get no change from a fiver anyway!

Re: Where have all the £2 coins gone?

Guilty!

I've saved £2 coins since they were first minted and last year I used them to pay for our holiday. I save £100 a time and pay them into a separate "rainy day" bank account that I have. They soon mount up and I'm almost there for this year's holiday too .... and maybe will have enough to also pay for Cassie's holiday in the Cattery

I think lots of people save them, they're heavy to carry in your purse.

Oh dear. I save them in my 'Cruise Fund' money box but I promise I haven't got them all. Sorry! ☺
