Undated 20p coin

Wow - at that price just one would do me ..... be plenty to pay to have some air-con installed :hehe:

 

New 20p coin with date missing sold on ebay for £20.000

Don't know if I quite believe that but just looking through all my loose change!!!

 

Just had a look on e-bay and there appears to be some right rip off's going on so be careful.............They are trying to sell ordinary 20p's with some clever wording and people ARE bidding..........

 

It is unbelievable what these things are fetching on auction sites!

I wonder how many people actually handed them into the London Mint for £50!

The news article to go with this:

I've checked hundreds of 20p's over the past few days, struggled to even find some new ones with the shield on the back, nevermind an undated one!

 

Something gives me the feeling that this might have been a 'deliberate' mistake - to bring 'money' into circulation.

If you have one of these and you have lots of money you will keep it

If you have one of these and money is less plentiful you will sell it.

If you have plenty of money and DO NOT have one of these you may buy one as an investment.

The person it is bought off is likely to spend the money - as if they didn't need it they wouldn't be selling.

OK it won't solve the credit crunch but it could well bring a fair bit of cash back into circulation 20,000 at just £100 each is errrr £2 million (or 20 million at £1000 each) if my maths is right.
And as this is the only year they won't have a date on it doesn't really matter, they are effectively dated anyway.

 

Hec, you cynic!

 

eerrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah :hehe:

You got to agree it gets money into circulation at no cost to the government (or some bright spark in the Royal Mint

 

Prices seem to be a bit less now , bit of logic there Hec .

 

I personally would rather have a gold undated 20p !
