gf was at a bowling game and they all threw in for a sweepstake - some minger noticed one of those misprinted 20p coins in and claimed it!

you might be as well holding on to it for a bit

nice 1 good to hear of some good fortune for a change

there worth a bomb looking on ebay those 20pence missprints.

Nice one Seb, well spotted

Some years back I was at the TT, they had the old and new English, Irish and Scottish pound notes in circulation; got to the stage where you'd take any bit of green paper offered.

But I managed to smuggle back to the mainland a 50p note issued in the IOM, that's won me a few drinks in the "yes, I have, no you haven't" pub arguments.

Dunno if it's worth anything more than a free pint though.

Hope your're going back to the corner shop to tell him the dodgy 50p he foisted on you is worth £15 on E-bay
