Register Background Identify Error Coins Media About The undated 20p
Did you know that some of the shiny new 20p coins are a rare error and The London Mint Office will pay you £50 for one?
How it happened: Last year there was an incredibly unusual lapse in the strict quality control at the Royal Mint. They are striking Britain’s new design circulating coinage and a batch of 20p coins were issued with mis-matched sides. The result is a batch of 20p coins without a date.
