I've got 3 but they all have the date on them

Which brings me to ask.

What's the oldest coinage you have in your pocket right now?

I have a penny from 1976!!! That's nearly as old as me!

I've got a '73 penny. Still not as old as me though.

I have a couple of those 20p's at home, I'll check them!

 

[muller]

I have a '71 penny and a '71 tuppence! No 20p with a missing date though...

 

[johnnyh]

none here, although the kids are going through their money boxes

I did a double take at a shiny 2008 2p that I got today. The pattern on the back is not centralised , which immediately made me think 'worth lots of money'.
But it probably isn't

I have two 1983 £1 coins.

My Dad has a farthing from the 1800's in his collection. I will tell him to look out for the 20p.

I'm working in the pub tonight. I'll get the boss to go through the money in the tills and the safe!

I keep a King George half-sovereign in my wallet, does that count?
