I've got the ones from Boots and the ones from Ocado, but I'd really like a couple of different ones for a Christmas display I'm doing!

Starbucks do huge individual ones, I haven't tried them though. Want one Grin

Starbucks have them for about 50p.

Superdrug have them in several designs, white and milk chocolate, for abut £1 (or possibly 2 for £1).

Coffee shops usually have them, Caffe Nero definitely do if you have any of their stores near you

Right, so my lunch hour tomorrow will be visiting Starbucks, Café Nero and finishing off at Superdrug. Splendid Grin

Aha - Christmas coins you say?

The year that DS was 2 years old at Christmas, when asked for what he wanted from Father Christmas, he only asked for chocolate coins. It became a bit of a mission for me to collect as many different kinds as possible (think Phoebe from Friends and cups and ice).

So, DP thought I was totally bonkers when on Christmas Eve I brought out from different hidden corners of the house an array of different chocolate coins.

All the supermarkets do a slight variation on a large chocolate coin - some gold, some silver and some bronze. I bought variations from:
M&S
Tesco
Waitrose
Sainsburys

M&S also do chocolate money notes.

Starbucks do a medium sized chocolate coin - somewhere in between a normal sized one like you get in nets and a large sized one.

Hawkins that year claimed to sell the largest chocolate coin available in Europe. I trekked across London to the nearest one but to be honest it wasn't any bigger (maybe a bit thicker chocolate) than your usual supermarket one.

Harrods do large pink and blue chocolate coins as part of their circus sweets range - they look quite good.

And Heals do mini chocolate coins in different colours (silver, gold and bronze) in small see-through plastic piggy banks. (Tooth fairy brings a few of these coins in our house).

M&S on 3 for 2 (bags of coins and notes)
Sainsburys £2 for the large ones (bronzey foil )

missnevermind · 06/11/2013 17:55

Lidls do bags of chocolate money. Including Euro notes.

Tee hee, I think Guitargirl gets the gold star in the giant coin quest! Grin you have saved me trekking about Flowers

If you are still looking. I just bought some huge £50 chocolate notes from Tesco for a pound each.
