The Royal Mint have made a boo boo

I spotted this on the BBC News website today

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/8123749.stm

Check your new 20ps as they may be worth £50 due to a date error made by the Royal Mint. They are still legal tender as 20ps but they may also be worth £50:cool:

Moneysaving at its best I say...as I go off and check all my 20ps:rotfl:

    Also if you go to the site - its worth registering first before you find them as they are only paying the first 10,000 people who register - cant help feeling this is a marketing ploy (and I work in marketing :p)

    But these are new undated ones so it doesnt relate to old ones from 1982:rolleyes:
