A coin enthusiast shared three rare coins that could be hiding in your loose change, with one 20p and 50p worth an impressive amount compared to their face value
You could be sitting on a tidy sum without even knowing it. Some coins can fetch a hefty price, skyrocketing to hundreds or even thousands of pounds above their face value for the lucky ones.
He explained: "Nothing gets people excited quite like this original 2009 design. Just 210,000 were released into circulation and with almost all of them in private hands." According to him, this coin is a collector's dream due to a unique changeover in its inscription from 'New Pence' to 'Two Pence'. Finally, keep an eye out for a 20p coin from 2008. He concluded: "This isn't any regular 20p as this one doesn't have a date. Yes that's right, there was a dye mix up at the Royal Mint during the transition to the new design and a small number of these coins were accidentally minted with no date."
