i might go and ask to change a £20 note into 20p's at the shop
surely there's a chance i can get one?

[Tomahawk]

Crazy! ..I'll have to keep an eye out.

Nope. I did exactly the same.

Wish i worked in a shop though. I'd be going through all the cash registers.

Got a sweet shop! I've got 5 of the coins! It's not April the 1st is it?

[Zhaoman]

i gave the bus one of these coins on my last trip, i thought it looked odd with no date but thought nothing of it. i better get over this before i do something drastic...

[funke_munke]

I'll be going through works cash registers all this week!

I've got 2 of these at the moment, and there maybe more in the baby "cash jar" at home

When I go to the shop to get cigarettes at 4.80 a pack - I put the 20p change I get from a fiver into the jar without too much thought.

As soon as I heard this yesterday I shook the jar upside down to see if any came out and guess what, I found 2 undated coins straight away.

I know there are another 60 20p coins in there at least so I'll be smashing the jar (it's a cutie "my first baby ceramic jar which needs smashing once filled) and filtering through all the shrapnel to get the rest of the silver out

i got one off those jars, and you just had to rub it in..............soo many coins and only 2 20s and not a single undated one

[Haiku32]

I have a single, dated 20p coin in my pocket .

After reading this the other day I remembered I'd cashed in £20 worth of 20ps and other change to notes last week

Not really, coin collectors will be after them, and because there aren't many of them, and alot of them will be cashed in to the royal mint, it really is a collectors piece, and will hold it's value more than the currency that you sell it for...
