There are about 250,000 20p pieces out there worth £50 each.

Reason : They don't have dates on either side!!!

Check your 20p coins now!

Was on the news yesterday.

Old news is old

Very old - I remember when it first came out every idiot at the bar would spend time checking their 20ps. Oh how it was annoying when you were the guy behind him. :/

Talbs13 · 10 Sep 2010 at 14:21

It's old news? Really?

Ah ok

I will shut up then.

I saw it on the BBC yesterday. Don't know why they had it on, as old news is old!

I must admit I did check my coins

antijoke · 10 Sep 2010 at 14:24

I checked my coins last year as well.

I checked mine for a few days then got bored. That was back in 2009.

A little known fact is that there are around 150,000 20p coins in circulation that are contaminated with Bad AIDS.

Cosimo · 10 Sep 2010 at 14:32

The story surfaced again because it appears that the highest number found had come from people in Birmingham.

When I get round to emptying the gallon bottle of coins in my room I'll have a look.

cheets64 · 10 Sep 2010 at 14:35

250,000 x £50 = I am rich

I really don't get why this appeared on the news yesterday, it's such old news.

Some girl at my old job found one while I was there, lucky sod.

Reallly Old News, Found one, Ebayed it to some Utter Nutter willing to pay me £150 for it. This was about a year agoI think.

V4NT0M · 10 Sep 2010 at 14:43

Keep them for another 10 years and they will be worth a lot more.

Wasn't it last year the queen imprint was on the back as well as the front or something?

I just assumed this was another mistake
