I got myself a Budweiser bottle 'money box' when i was about 20. Its plastic and about 2ft tall. Every day i put my loose change into it 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p only....
well today i emptied it (took 10 mins to empty it) and then counted it all (2 hours) and it came to £110....well chuffed....some how got to get it to the bank now
