I have resumed saving up for a Kindle paper white, because a cash gift from a relative allowed me to get a new phone. The tin is no longer for a new phone. Reading books is such a big part of my life and I love reading all sorts of sci Fi and true life mystery books.
The way I save for gadgets is as follows, when I have coins left in my pocket I put the chrome coloured ones in a metal tin. The chrome English coins are 5p 10p 20p and 50p. One p or pence is 1 percent of the one pound. 1 pound is the base of the English currency, 50p is half of one pound. I don't put copper coloured 1p or 2p coins because I have learnt in the past that a whole tin would only be 10 pound if it were filled with them.
The brass coloured coins are one pou I 1nd and two pound. I don't add brass coins because I would run out of cash too quickly if I did that every time. I put the chrome coins and not the brass or copper ones.
Penny's are useless but I can put 20 of them in the coffee machine at work and have a coffee.
I give thanks for reading because it is my greatest love.
