FAQs
How do I get my money out?
The Pot of Dreams is designed to be smashed once it is full or you are ready to access your savings. Wrap it in a cloth and use a hammer to break it.
Can I reuse the pot after breaking it?
No, the pot is intended for single use and must be broken to retrieve the savings.
What is the maximum amount I can save in this pot?
The pot is designed to hold up to £1000 in £2 coins. The actual amount may vary depending on the mix of coins and notes.
Is the white design plain or patterned?

What should I do if the pot breaks accidentally before I'm ready?
If the pot breaks prematurely, carefully collect all contents. You can then use another Pot of Dreams or a different container to continue saving.
Can I put foreign currency in the pot?

Troubleshooting

Difficulty in breaking the pot
Ensure the pot is well-wrapped in a thick cloth. Use a hammer with moderate force. If resistance is met, try a different angle or slightly more force, being mindful of surroundings.
