Story from Jam Press (Coke Bottle Saving)

Man who spent years plonking £1 coins into Coca-Cola bottle discovers he’s saved STAGGERING amount of cash
A man was stunned to discover he’d saved a whopping £5,000 after religiously plonking £1 coins into a Coca-Cola bottle for four years.
Kyle Greenwood, from West Yorkshire, shared a video of himself emptying his money pot on TikTok, where it quickly gained over 1.6million views.
The 34-year-old said he started saving just as the pandemic hit and had no idea how much he’d managed to squirrel away.
“I thought I would use the money for a new car or a holiday but once I saw it building up I decided to use it to help buy mine and my partner’s first home,” the factory worker told What's The Jam.
“I stayed disciplined throughout, even though it was hard.
“I thought about dipping into it many times but fought against it once I set my sights on using it to help buy a house.
“My grandad gave me the bottle and I made it my goal to try and fill it up.”
In the clip, aptly set to Abba's Money, Money, Money, Kyle pours the coins onto his bed before shoving them into several carrier bags.
He then puts all the bags into one suitcase and heads out to his local NatWest.
He and his partner tried to guess how much the stash amounted to, with Kyle predicting £4,651 and his girlfriend Cat landing on £4,855.
But after painstakingly pouring multiple bags of coins into a counting machine, it came to a whopping £5,005.20.
The video has gathered 69,400 likes and 1,500 comments from fans.
Esmae joked: “Could just about buy a Freddo.”
Lilianna added: “I'd say theres at least £1 in there.”
Someone else said: “My trust issues would of made me count it all before putting it in the machine.”
Another user wrote: “Two or three holidays right there, nice.”
Thea commented: “Damn can I borrow one for trolley.”
