Hmm.. I'd try ebay maybe. I'd prefer specialist dealers but dont know any local ones.

How much you reckon I'd get for it?

LOL LOL. My teacher was like "They are worth £100's! If you sell them all, you could buy a brand new car!!"

I wasn't convinced, but it was worth a try.

How sweet are the old coins!?

I wish I had old australian coins, but they really are too expensive =/

It's ironic to think that you could have a 20 pence piece from just last year in your pocket that could be worth a fair bit :P.

I've got this quite weird coin. Its the shape of a 10p coin, but on the back it says 5? :D

Yep. I know of two people who came across one; the first had his from early '09 or late '08 but decided to keep it and the other only got his a few months ago. I don't think they're worth anything much now, compared to what they were at first anyway.

Its funny though the amount of people who i knew working in shops checked every 20p to see if it was one without a date loool

[Black_Apalachi]

Yeah that's exactly what I would have done lol. It's how one of my mates got his - from working in KFC :)
