michael Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Seems more like a cunning plan for the mint to collect names so they can sell their coin collections to people who aren't very good at reading the small print on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I dont really understand why they would be worth £50 to them, is this to compensate us? I looked through my change and noticed two 2p's which were both made in 1971!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 They're said to be worth 'ABOUT' £50 by coin collectors, due to the rarity. I don't know anything about that website offering £50 to the first 10,000 people who register though, wouldn't trust that! //EDIT: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/8123749.stm experts saying the coins could be worth up to £50 each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 London mint wont give you any money. They will pass your information onto collectors who may buy these off you. And they are not rare at all.
