Start searching your change gents and gentess!

Apparantly there is a batch of new 20p piece with out a date on them. As it currently stands the London Mint office will give you £50 if you return it to them. However it will no doubt be worth more in the long run! There are roughly 200,000 of them in circulation and none of the buggers are in my pockets, change jar or down the back of my sofa!
On the new 20p the date is on the same side as Her Majestys head

If you find one, you could look at this website www.undated20p.com

Full story here
uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20...dbed5.html

200,000 of the buggers one of us lot is bound to get one! If your unsure please send the 20p piece to me and l'll have a look for you*

*Disclamer The_Guardsman can not be held responsible for any 20p that are lost in the post and the 20p piece that is returned maynot be the same one you sent.

200,000 coins 10,000 registrations available on their website. You have to be registered to claim your money. Hmmm. I don't think all 200,000 people will get their £50.

edit: Damn having the tab open for so long without replying D:

Thats intresting. However in the future when people have lost the coins and all that the coins will be worth alot more as this is a very rare error on the part of the London Mint office.

Still l wonder how many people who have read this have just dropped everything and gone rummaging around there gaff for the coins!?!

Yeah, if I find one I reckon I'll keep it. Will probably become a collectors item.

edit: and you won't be getting £50. It will be £49.80 Unless they send you a replacement 20p coin in addition to the £50.

Lol @ UK mint quality control.

That shit never makes it to public circulation. Most of it is melted down, only like 1 in 100,000 in circulation are mis minted.

Yeah, I was just about to say this as I clicked on the thread...

Seems the coin collector's and (future) antique-merchants are more interested in these 'rare' coins than the Queen's mint is...

Funny .
