The Royal Mint has inadvertantly issued 20p coins without a date on them

You'd have thought they might have had a more accurate idea of how many - "between 50,000 and 200,000" seems a little vague, and careless.
Anyway, the London Mint Company, which is actually a Dutch company which specialises in expensive coin sets advertised in magazines, is said to be offering £50 each for them, and there are examples on ebay, one of which fetched over £5,000.
So, worth checking your pockets/purses, and probably worth hanging on to them for a bit. _________________ Ron |
