tin money box SAVER

A question about : tin money box SAVER

I been collecting 1 pound coins since jan as my plan was to open it up for my birthday in may but I had hold off till july I counted it and I saved 400 pound

Best answers:

• That's so cool!!
  I love saving tins... I have one for 2 pound coins and one for my mom (a tin that you can't open). Can't really afford anything more at the moment.
• Wow! Imagine what you would have had in January. That is a good idea though. I always find pound coins in the sofa and such. Did you buy a big splurge item with the money?
• so far I put 200pund in the bank what I saved in the tin
• I have one of these tins too, been putting fivers in it, pound coins and the odd tenner. Opened it at the weekend and there's Ј1210! I'm gobsmacked, that's in about 10 months so not too bad.
• Awesome! I'm well tempted to do this. But I usually just empty the coin section in my wallet into the Tesco self serve machine whenever I go :E
• I save into a tin every time I have change. Everything under 20p goes in it. I also put the rest of my silver upto Ј1 coins into another tin. When we opened them up after a month there was almost 100 between the two and that's just from my tips at work :-)
