    If you have one sell it on ebay!
    Have a look they are fetching £200+
  • careful of the site offering £50 - its not the Royal Mint but a marketing company that sells coin sets....there are undated 2008 20p's on eBay at the minute for over £80!

    i have checked petty cash tin at work, will check when i get home too....

    I had some 1982's as well, i don't recall them being around as early as that, i must be older than i think!

    lucky beggers who've found some so far!

    Numpty, worth checking the sealed pot for i'd say!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    I have one from 1982, it's all manky though :D
    I don't get it. If it has no date on it, how do you know it was made in 1982?

    I saw that too. Have 2 bags of 20p coins to pay into the bank (some new coins in there to) that I've just undone the bags and recounted them and checked all the new ones. Sadly, nothing but it kept me busy for a while re-couting the coins and bagging them up again!
    Debt 30k in 2008.:eek::o Cleared all my debt in 2013 and loving being debt free :)
    Mortgage free since 2014 :)
