Following on from the fellas pringles tube post!

I use a 3.75L Grants whisky bottle my old gramps gave me, filled with everything except £2's and 50p's.. cos they dont fit

The od tenner and a £20 note aswell, loads of pound coins, 20's, 10's and the rest, lookin forward to emptyin it!

mattbibs

have a look through for any special coins before you bank them!

keep saving - fill it before you empty it!

Coldo

Not even halfway yet

Probably will fill it this time though, emptied it before, less full than it is now and there was just shy of £180 if i remember right.

Got to the stage i like to break a tenner note if im out so ive a few quid to sling in it

CharlieSaff

Well I'm Charlie's Son,

For my 18th I got a china pot and on the label it reckons when full it holds about £200 in mixed Silver. So I'm filling it with £1 coins

Here it is nearly a year on about half full (nearly at the widest ridge) in relation to the pringles pot...



Just got to smash it to open it, or cheat and use a kinfe

EDIT: spelling

i have a big water bottle,the ones you get in the water dispensers.

nothing hardly in it at the moment,but the last time i cashed it in there was over £300 and it was not even hardly past the 1/4 mark.

i don't think i will fill it,take too long.

pollocks

i have a big tin at the side of my bed but i usually dip into it if i need stuff like bus fare for a night out lol is only a thrid full at the moment

James

i have a standard 2l coke bottle which i chuck in 1,2&5p's, emptied it just under halfway last year and had about £40 but now i refuse to empty it until full! it's about 80& full atm!

paul16v

Ive got a 4.5l bells jar, used to have 2 but the ex tried to move my other 1 when it was full and the bottom fell out of it i had hours of endless fun sorting out all the bits of broken glass from the coins

Martyn

I had one of those Bells bottles too, I filled it to the very top, and then got half full again and knocked it over.
Even though it landed on carpet, the weight of all the coins broke it

I agree I had every intention of sticking EVERY coin I had in my pockets at the end of each day into a jar - quids, 2 quid coins, fifty's - all of em, but I started, and after a month I raided it as I was skint

I then had the intention of sticking whatever tips I got from work (now again I'd get a £3 here, fiver there, sometimes a tenner, once or twice a £20 note, and one time I got a fifty!!! ) into my shrapnel jar, but again, I never did - I just either used it to buy lunch or spent it in the pub

I'd love to be able to frit away change like some people here do, but I ain't that flush

COMEDY DAN

You could buy a house with what you got in there......!!!!
