I wasn't going to post this till it was full - But as it is taking so long I might die before I fill it.
I have been filling one of these (1 Gallon) for years and first one broke - bottom fell out - so this is second one which I emptied on 20/12/1981 - I filled it by 11/6/2001 (must be a gap there somewhere) and it held £625 in 1p -2p -5ps - Filled it again by 20/10/2008 but this time saving 5p - 20p -£2 and there was over four figure sum - from then I have been retired so not had lot of change to go in it - that empty gap doesn't look much but I think I am talking another two years - I have only raided it for 40p - someone at door I needed to pay.
I wrote on label dates and amounts.
And it is bloody heavy.
