It was only when I read this thred that I realised why I haven`t seen a 20p piece for days - everybody`s busy filing the dates off.

I know the new dateless coins have been fetching £200 each on ebay but this auction amused me clicky here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-x-Undated-20p-20-Pence-Coins-No-Date-Queen-Side_W0QQitemZ330341269485QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Coins_BritishDecimal_RL?hash=item4ce9dfbfed&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1684%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50)

The 'ordinary' 20p's are only worth 20p....someone has sold 10 ordinary 20p's for £205 on ebay hence the buyer is very stupid.  Click Halibut-t's link and you'll see.
