Haha. Me too!
I was about to say six times in one day, waaaaay back in the day when the stars were in alignment and I was at a peak for energy, enthusiasm, technique and availability amongst other factors.
So, that said, about £42.
I just do 1p,2p,5p and 10p bits now, in the wee change bags. When they reach their capacity I take 'em to the bank for account deposits. If I was to take one of each it would amount to £12!ker-fukn-ching!!

When i count mine out i save some in money bags and put a few bags of small change to pay for the seven bridge at the coin machines, you cant pay it all in 5p it wont accept that many coins at once,

I collect £2 coins and usually end up with £200 or so before I cash them in (which is normally when my other change jar is full).
I got an LCD flatscreen Panasonic with the last lot I cashed in (about £450).
I currently have £100-ish in £2 coins and probably another £150 at a guess in other loose change.

Think I have a bit of an OCD when it comes to coin collecting, generally try to always pay with notes in the pub etc. By the time I get home after an alldayer have sometimes had over £50 in change.
In the last three years saved enough in coins to buy a Breitling and diamond ring from Tiffany for the missus.

I wouldn't have that if I put every single spare £ I have in a box for three years

This thread is weird.
I thought only little kids had piggy banks?
I generally give all my small change away, cos I can't be arsed carrying it around.

About 5 years ago now I counted mine up, 18 months worth. All coins went in it - its amazing after a night out when you empty your pockets and find £20 in change alone!
£1546!
My current one is meagre by comparison, I barely carry cash ever now, and my pound coins go into my squash bag to pay for the court lights. I think I have about £50 in schrapnel, but i'm too lazy to take it to the bank to change.
Squash bag probably has about £50 in it as a result too! I should buy some grips & restrings out of it really.

A mate of mine had a Fosters beer can piggy bank that she had been putting coins in for a few years. Spent a dull Saturday counting out that and had close to a grand in it, had all sorts of stuff in there francs, Aussie stuff, most I have ever managed is about £20 but that is just 1p 2p and 5p.
