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

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.
