It is not all bad news out there. This is because the british Royal Mint has announced a production mistake of not putting the date on some 20p coins which has made them worth £50 each because of their rarity. That’s what you’ll get if you return them to the Mint itself.
Another piece of the good news is that there are 200,000 of those coins made before the mistake was rectified; which means the ‘fortune’ will be spread far and wide. The faulty batch was produced earlier this year leaving the date stamp off the ‘tails’ side.
My advice is that you check through your coin deposits at home because you may be sitting on free money. If you have one and want the £50, simply register at www.undated20p.com and send it back.
If on the other hand you want to keep yours (experts are saying the coins may be worth over £200 within ten years), you can still register and the Mint will send you a presentation box.
It is nice to have a bit of good news in the midst of this financial gloom and doom. Happy hunting.
