Not sure where to put this.

The Royal mint have issued 200,000 new design 20p but forgot to put the date on. These worth £50.00 if returned immediately. Check skynews for full details.

The website they have listed is www.undated20p.com, which is not the royal mint.

    Just to clarify:

    "The London Mint Office, a private company specialising in unusual coins, is offering anyone who finds one £50 - 250 times their legal value - in the hope of selling them to collectors for an even higher price."

    Personally, if I found one I'd hang on to it for 30 years!

    Not sure why the BBC are running with this today, it's an old story, from a couple of months ago.

    Just been broadcast on 96.4 The Eagle too - if The Mint are offering £50 just to get them off the street, imagine what collectors will offer in a few years time!
