My mum had a bottle full of £2 coins. Then bought me a tag watch for my 21st
She had to fill it twice mind, but ended up £2 short of £1600 so i stumped the last £2

It's a start of our holiday money, Roll on October, back to Thailand

Coldo

Last time i emptied it when it was full it had over £700 in it if i remember, about a quarter full just now, usually just fill it up and empty it before the summer.

Ginge !

the missus keeps robbing the gold to top up her oyster card, we aint got a bottle but got loads of money tins scattered about the place,,, though as said the gold is robbed bby nikki and Elise robs the silver to by her magazines too so tends not to me much though i cant be arsed to count em

also got a armrest i the scooby full of change for the meter,, thats gonna have about 30 quid it in

My money bottle has been raided more times than the Royal Mail trains, by both of my kids and my bloody wife.
Any 20p's and they go quicker than a Braun Mercedes with a dodgy rear defuser!!

I've got a bottle, and that's about it. Actually I have a telephone box money box and put anything from 20p upwards in it. It soon adds up and you don't really miss it.

BlairM

Haha won't even show you mine - it's a half terrys cholocate orange plastic bottle - I think I've emptied it once in 5 years.

I don't tend to put much change in it, I can always easy use up 5p, 10p and 20p's at the shop near work.

Guy at my work does indian deliveries and he has thousands in his jar every so often, I've never seen him work with anything less than a fiver so all coins must go in his jar.

Ginge !

ill agree with that,,, though i dont get to bloody see it as its used as a work travel fund/kids crappy magazines fund

though i do have a nice habit of finding 20 pound notes in jeans im about to lob in the bin,, that and fivers in my wallet as i always put the fivers back in then forget about em and visit a cash point and draw out more money,,, spend it and if theres a fiver pop it back in there again to find another

also once found 500 quid in a cupboard a few years ago,, it was from when i bought my cossie i had 500 quid too much so left it in there and due to having a cossie forgot all about it, that as another nice find

So in a round about way, you are withdrawing money out of your bank and putting it in a bottle?

Im surprised there hasnt been a spate of burglarys to nick coin bottles Im sure the smack heads wont mind waiting at the "coinstar" machine for half an hour


Id love to get a huge old whiskey bottle but dont see them around often.

You cant get change out of a cash machine

MikeR

A fraction under a 1000 dollars in 1's and 5's and 700 euros in 1 and 2 euro coins and just under 1k in sterling coins

If I come round yours and put a cash card (Probably won't be mine) through your post box, will I get some cash out??

Northants Ford Fan

I use a stella keg for my silver, and a water coller bottle for my coppers, at the min its got about 3 inchs in the bottom, I doubt I will be able to lift it when I eventually fill it as it weighs a bit now

JonnyBravo

The most I've had out of mine is about £250 but thats no notes 50p's or £1 + £2 coins so not bad going Its starting to looks like it needs emptying soon but I'm always embarrased sticking it in those machines at Tesco

smitsturbo

the most is about 85 quid, never realy done it to tell the truth except the ashtray in my jeep is full of shrapnell

No idea what's in mine - rarely empty it but I only usually put 10p's and below in there so it looks alot but in the monetary sense I usually get between £75 and £100 from it.

Cossie Helen

iTrader: (1)

8% charge to use those machines you must be too rich or too stupid

Where can I get a coin counting machine please... I reckon I have near on 500 pounds but no chance of me counting all that.

Preferbly a cheap one as it defeats the point of not counting it. Hoping to use it to go to the ring in a month or two.

I always try and pay for things i need with any change i get
I have no problem giving the shop a hand full of coppers to count,they count them for free

i have just given my 2 year old nephew a piggy bank for his birthday - all my loose change gets collected to put into that for his future. will do the same for my niece when the time comes.
