Check Your 20p Coins, They Could Be Worth £60

A coin expert says some 20p coins are very valuable.

A specialist says don't spend a certain 20p coin without checking it. It could be worth £60 because it has a mistake. This mistake makes it valuable to collectors.

The coin is from 2008. Many were made with a mistake that collectors like.

The mistake means the coin has no date on it. An expert says, 'Check your 20p coins before spending them because one from 2008 with no date is worth £60.'

Normally, the date is on the back of a 2008 20p coin. The expert says, 'The date on a 20p coin is usually on the back under the crown.'

But in 2008, something strange happened. Some 20p coins were made with a new front and an old back, but neither side has a date.

This is called a 'mule error'. It happens when the wrong parts are used to make a coin and it gets into circulation without being noticed.

Many 20p coins were made with a mistake that collectors want.

These coins are rare, but not impossible to find. The expert says, 'If you check and there's no date on either side, you might have the rare one.'

These rare 20p coins are not easy to find, but they can be found in average condition. They can sell for £60 or more. People are still finding them in their change.

The mistake means the coin has no date on it.

The Royal Mint says some 20p coins were made incorrectly in 2008 and have no date.

This problem happened to less than 250,000 coins out of 136 million made in 2008-09. It was because the wrong parts were used to make the coins.

These coins are still legal and worth 20p. One of these rare coins was listed on eBay for £99.50.
