20p is worth £50 if it hasn't got a date on it.

A scam to get you to send off 20p's?

The 20p thing might be true but why would it say "you need to send them here first and we're only accepting 10,000". Sounds a little dodgy to me.

10,000 20p coins is 2,000 pounds. No doubt some people will send in more than one as well. I reckon someone could make a cool 5,000-10,000 from it.

I liked the BBC report, people were emailing in saying their 20p didn't have a date on the 'heads' side.  Then they pointed out it was only the newly issued ones that they were talking about.

I think all the old ones had the date on the "tails" side but not the "heads" side.
