A pub customer was celebrating after being handed a rare undated 20p worth more than £7,000 among the change for his pint.

Lloyd Hefferman, 38, was enjoying a summer drink with his friends at The Botolph Arms pub in Peterborough, Cambs, when bar staff handed him the coin.

The 20p coins, which are the first in 300 years to enter circulation without a date, are still legal tender and have caused a frenzy in the coin collecting world

Well, that's what he told his missus. Now she'll give him carte blanche to go down the pub whenever the urge strikes him. Sounds like a cunning plan to me, Baldrick...

How many of these coins are there?

More than a couple and the value will tumble.

Best thing the Royal Mint could do is run the machines for a day with a similar die and then they'd be back to the twenty pence value.

Don't be such a spoilsport humph!
