Everybody must remember the 20p coins that circulated with no date on them?
Was checking on ebay at the coins for sale and noticed someone is selling a £2 coin which celebrates the gunpowder plot, it also lists that the coin has an error from the mint, which I then googled and it would appear some are in circulation with an error, the error being in the writing on the side of the coin.The writing on the side of this particular coin should read "REMEMBER REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER", the coins with the error reads "REMEMBER REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBEP"
Have struck it lucky though as we have 2 of these so will keep hold of them smile
