    Hi all! 3p for the pot today. Well done to all of you who are adding lots of nice coins (and notes!) to your pots - mine is all very heavy weather at the moment but on the plus side, I'm barely spending anything so I guess it evens out.

    Hi Everyone

    Have any of you heard about the Royal Mint's Boo Boo. They've accidently minted a whole load of 20p without the date! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/8123749.stm

    [STRIKE]They're offering £50 for their return.[/STRIKE] I wonder how many are locked in our sealed pots/tins. I'm really tempted to open mine up!

    urg x x

    EDIT: I MISREAD THE ARTICLE - COIN COLLECTORS SAID THAT THEY COULD BE WORTH £50 - SORRY. I have opened mine and am still counting - will post the amount and add it to my signature.

    I expect someone has already posted this but if not here is a thread about the value of 20p without dates:

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1783011

    I'm putting a note in my sealed pot so I can check when the time comes.

    Oops - just read the post from urg, who beat me to it!

    Hi all.

    I can't BELIEVE the Royal Mint's date-free 20p [STRIKE]!!!! up[/STRIKE] blunder has taken so long for the media to get hold of!! :eek: IF memory serves me correctly it was either sparky or stunty that first said about it, but that was MONTHS AGO!! A first for the beeb to be slow on the uptake surely! :rolleyes:

    750 sparky?!!! Ah well, who knows, I never thought we'd get to 700, so........!

    Lovely to see you Surfbabe and mogchops! :wave:

    OK LC, it's after midnight so... Have a VERY Happy Birthday and thoroughly enjoy the day and the night (she will :rolleyes:) as well as the following year. :bdaycake:
    Have a great day folks, keep out of the sun stunty, or you might melt! Best leave the roadkill where it is, too hot to handle!;)
