Some of us may have rare coins hidden in wallets or down sofas and they could be worth a bit of dosh. 1 A 20p lying around in your spare change could actually earn you as much as £1,350 Credit: CoinHunter.co.uk Coins with a minting error could be worth a small fortune because very few actually make it into circulation. For this reason, they are very attractive to collectors who are sometimes willing to pay large sums in exchange for one. One of the most rare error coins is the valuable bronze 20p, of which a few have been discovered in recent years. Kate Morgan, a coin expert from Change Checker, told The Sun: "In 2017, a collector reported finding a 1987 20p coin which appeared to have a very different finish to the others you'd usually find in your change." The collector had assumed that the coin had been plated,but decided to send it off to the Royal Mint to be absolutely sure. Kate added: "After examining the coin by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, the Royal Mint confirmed that the bronze 20p was the result of an extremely rare minting 'error'. "It was ascertained that a bronze blank, which would usually be used for the production of 1p pieces, had been mistakenly used to strike this 20p." Since then, in 2018 another collector found a 1990 coin which he also had checked by the Royal Mint and was found to have the same bronze base. These coins are extremely rare and we could not find any examples online of how much they could go for if their seller decided to list the find on the likes of eBay. But a 2p error coin, on a silver plate, sold for £1,350 back in 2016 so a bronze 20p could go for just as much - if not more - if the owner decided to sell it. In the past a bronze 20p has also been valued for £750. You can make money from these rare coins by selling them at auction, either online or in){kind=link}
