Woohoo for the money box! (2013 update)
Turbo Mini Forums

Every year I have a sealed tin which I put my £1 & £2 coins in at the end of every day.

Started filling this one boxing day 2007 finished filling it up on Sunday.

Emptied it today £938!!!! GET IN THERE!

Last year i had the same size tin but only managed £366??? Must have had a lot more £2 coins ths year.

Looks like my mini project has gotten a decent cash injection for the new year!

WWW.FORCE-RACING.CO.UK PLEASE CLICK HERE

Fooking hell! Thats a tidy sum.

nice!

lol @ carl

That's fab, we've done it too but only with silvers.

I save my silvers and coppers too. But they are never as impressive amounts. Usually about £100-£200 in them. Empty them out a couple of times a year.

Had a look on www.force-racing.co.uk some very nice stuff on there but a little bit rich for me.

Nice!!

Thats a good idea, however my change always seems to take the form of pints instead of being kept somewhere to add up!

LOL

When I go out I try to spend change & coins instead of breaking notes all the time. But I still usually end up with a few quid in my pockets most days.

weve been saving coppers and 5ps for about 3 years and i bet weve got about £4.56p lol

i have about £50 in one of those plastic beer bottles. thats only coppers and 5p's though lol

(i was inspired by will h (i think) years ago lol)

if i had a money tin id have to weld it shut to stop me pinching from it, nice one though!

To be honest is was a sealed tin. Had to take a can opener to it to get in it.

Right it's that time again. My £1 and £2 jar is full again so have opened it and counted up. I know it's a bit of a crap winnie the pooh tin but it was the only one I could find last year.



The result is £620 which a bit down on last years total but this tin is quite a bit smaller than last years and were in a recession don't you know?

Don't think I'll be opening my new tin this time next year as its a lot bigger than this one. But it should be a bumper sum when I finally get it filled



Now what do I spend it on this year? Paint I reckon.

i think im going to have to get me one of these
i know ive got about 50quid in small change tucked away but i keep digging into it for beer money

i tried to get the missus to keep one of these for a holiday fund, the idea was stick any £5 notes in an old beer bottle where you couldnt get at them....

I found her with one of these in the top....

ahahahahaha

So that's why you've never got any change to buy the brews!

Remember you have to add in to the equation the money you spent on the new tin, making your saving slightly less.

Joking. LOL.

A tidy sum you have you self there.

Where did you get that new tin from, i really need to get one of them!

Luke

I've not got one of those, instead I have a coin sorter thing, similar to this-

I also do the same thing- try and lob my change in there. I then bag it in bank bags, and every now and then go and weigh it in. Last time it went towards my tool chest, the time before towards my TIG welder etc.

I got it from some random gadget shop in chester. But they are usually found in gift shops and the like.

Last time i counted up my pint glass it was about £60. Its got lots of silver in there though, and i can help but dig into it every so often because its open...must get a closed tin!

that is some serious coinage!! :)
i only collect 1's 2's and 5's, i have to carry change for work i have a good 40quid so far though

Yes i moved to the darkside
