    is it bad that the first thing I did on reading this was check through my wallet for 20ps?

    Re: News - Undated British 20p coins could be worth hundreds

    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

    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...
