i want a sealed money box, one that your have to smash or break to open, the problem is i cant find one anywhere :/ my friend got one off a market stall up north and she saved £2 coins in it, she had £800 in 3 months!

Better to put money in a savings account if it's a fair amount.

I somehow doubt he's going to be putting several hundred quid in a money box right away and putting the odd 50p in a savings account is more hassle than its worth.

Obviously but you should deposit it say when you get £50 for example rather than letting it build up so much.

I just throw all my shrapnel into a large Cadbury's Heroes tin, the largest size they do.

Saves the need for a conventional money box

it never works like that for me. I get money, I spend some, I end up with a pocket full of change which I slowly spend on crap. hence with a sealed money box i can wack my change into it and ignore it. out of sight out of mind.

I use a coffee jar for my pennies.
