Thread: check your loose change folks!!!!

Faulty 20p coins 'worth £50 each'


BBC NEWS | Wales | South East Wales | Faulty 20p coins 'worth £50 each'

and they are already on ebay!!!!

UNDATED 20p 20 PENCE PIECE, RARE AND COLLECTABLE on eBay (end time 02-Jul-09 13:20:23 BST)

My partner religiously saves all his silver all year and we use it at christmas. Guess what we'll be doing tonight......

Checking down the back of the sofa as we speak!

I'm still confused though. Metro stated it was the coins with the Thistle.

BBC said it was ones with the new design (depicting part of the Royal Crest)

Someone else said it doesn't matter.

I'm just going to give mine over the bar. 7 of them are definitely worth a pint!

I religiously put all my loose change in a box every day...... spent an hour checking all the 20ps.... nowt

Loose change? In a family with teenagers? Chance would be a fine thing! :-|

lol

She has one.

What to do? What to do?

Keep it (to see if the price rises).
Flog it, as £5800 (which one sold yesterday on ebay for) would be really, really useful at this moment in time.

I would keep it. Unless you really, really need the money.
Don't forget Sod'em it belongs to your Mrs......just how many pairs or shoes can £5800 buy?

They're going for silly money on ebay..

The people offering £50 for them are The London
Mint Office who are a private company with no
connection at all to the Royal Mint.

It's only about a month ago that I cashed in 50 odd
quids worth of 20p's out of my fruit machine!!

Don't think I want to!

You've got to admire the cheek!!
He's sold 5 like this already!!

DCAs have been doing this for years with undated unsigned credit contracts!!!

bloody typical that this comes out the day AFTER i took about £400 worth of change to Lloyds TSB to change into my holiday spending money - what's betting some Lloyds TSB cashier is looking through every drawer to see how many they can find and swap for their dated ones!

Which bloody 20p is it?

I've narrowed the reports to three, all conflicting.

I'm either sitting on £800, £50 or 20p.

This is driving me nuts

PS - I've got a 5p coin with someone's head on it. £40 starting bid on ebay.
