I use Quality Street/Celebrations/Similar tins.

Had well over £300 in last years (2008's) non-copper tin.

Still not filled/emptied the copper tin.

ye tight ******? only putting coppers in it eh?

Tight? Not really :confused:

I don't exactly spend a great deal of money, as I don't exactly have a great deal of money.

Plus, I often forget to put my change in it...

Get a demijon, i got one,

the level its at now there is probally about £40 in it.

edit :

I also have the above. Mine is about 1/3 full and has around £70 in it.

I have a 1.5 litre vodka bottle, only good for 5Ps though.
Will all add up to well over £100 I estimate when it's full.

It's extremely heavy

mangobreeder · 2 Jan 2009 at 18:23

impressive i would be very interested to know how much is in there.

it worth pointing out, that its the 20ps which really a jar add up,

£1 £2 coins tend to get removed for various reason, most common being morning coffee.

the 20p however stay in and when i cash out, make up most of the value.

thats not full :)

Is indeed.
All change apart from pound coins goes in.

I use a box which seems to get heavier all the time!

I did start counting some of it (bags next to it) which are 10p/20p/50p/£1 which is £130 already then got bored

Total weight of uncounted coins is 19.80 kg (including box) no idea how is worth in total.

I know that interest rates are low, but your money would still be better off in a bank account

I would put it in the bank if I didn't have to count it before, will take ages.

You don't have to count it, not at my local HSBC anyway.

Put cashcard in machine, tip coins in, money credited to account.

Never knew you could do that .. I always thought you had to count and sort into the little bags.

I haven't brought any coins to the bank since I was a kid and just assumed it was the same

Only £1 coins and 50p coins allowed.

Too much effort trying to get them back out.
