    A 50p coin produced just five years ago has shot to rarity value, with the Royal Mint urging the public to check their change and dealers on eBay asking as much as £24 for the Kew Gardens coin issued in 2009.

    Just 210,000 of the coins were minted to mark the 250th anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens, compared with 22.7m with the shield of the Royal Arms in 2008 and 7.5m of the Girlguiding 50p in 2010.

    Around one in every 300 people is likely to have a Kew Gardens 50p, but the Royal Mint said it was likely to disappear fast now that it had declared the coin as the rarest in general circulation.

    Thanks worldtraveller, I saw this coin featured on The One Show, then when I looked on ebay they are fetching around £70 on average at the moment!! Those of you with large stashes of 50p's please have a check for this one!!!!

    No worries! One circulated, "good condition" coin, closed last night on ebay at £100! :eek:
    But that could well have been the peak for the time being, as the last one just sold for £88.
