Seems the royal mint forgot to put a date on a recent batch of 20p's an they could be worth £50.

    An important point is that the undated20p.com site and £50 offer is being made by a private company and therefore it's likely that if you do have one it could be worth more than £50 - certainly they have gone higher on ebay, and it might be something to put by to make a bit more in future if you don't need the money now.

    I was toying with the idea of opening my savings pot early to see if I have one, but now that I know it is a private company, I think I will wait and check when I open it as planned at the end of the year. I know I've put a couple of new 20ps in there, fingers crossed I've got one of the special ones! Unlikely, but it'll make opening my pot even more exciting :)
