Terrimundi pot

[LynAnne]

Been trying to get finances in order so that we can get married this year and start to think about kids and I am absolutely desperate to break into my terrimundi pot even though its not full to see how much is in it! We got it for our engagement and have put mainly £1 coins and a few notes in there but it's only half way full!
Has anyone else got a terrimundi pot? When I do eventually open it i don't want to smash it. Has anyone opened theirs without smashing it to pieces?

If a terrimundi pot is what I think it is (a completely sealed money pot) then my brother cut into his when he was younger with a hack saw obviously there are neater ways of doing. You could cut a hole in the bottom with a hole cutter or something. But however you do it I wouldn't do it until its full You'll just have to put extra coins in to fill it up quicker

Put something in the coin slot thats long and flat like a knife and turn it upside down might take you a while but your pot will be untouched. (Not done that before )

Quicker and easier to smash it lol! Though my OH is on about using some sort of grinder to get into ours haha! Don't do it til its full though xx

I'm a waitress and I put all my tips in my terrimundi pot...when it got full (of mainly £1coins and notes, no shrapnel) then we used a hole cutter to open it and had close to £950 in it!

we resealed it with a peice of plastic and kept going

Great ideas! I'm not opening it until its full but it feels like forever away! It just seems too nice to smash. I just want to be able to get our money out of it one day. I know my OH will just want to smash it to pieces but I'd rather keep it!

I can't help but think there would be something very satisfying about smashing into it. If I had one I would smash it to pieces. But I am quite an aggressive person

Ohh I wouldn't want to smash it even if it was full! Saying that knowing it was full of money maybe I would
Just fill it extra quick and you'll get to open it

We got one for Rory but are using it for the wedding instead It only has about £200 in there I think, mostly notes. Hoping that by next year we'll have £1000 or so for food and drink costs.

I think they're great but I so often forget to put change and such into it because I just think of it as an ornament! Ha. We do have about £50 in other piggy banks which should go towards the wedding (I say!). Also we're due to get a large refund on our electricity and I'm demanding at least half goes to getting this wedding sorted!

Leave it until it's full!!

I had almost £1000 in mine. A few £5 notes and one £20 but I put every £2 coin I get into it and most £1.
