I have one in my wallet, decent condition.

Some on eBay are going for over a grand - i'm guessing they're the ones that haven't been through the system??

Probs worth a tenner maybe...

I reckon it's worth 50p. Take it the shop and find out.

Any coin that is a bit more than a standard design can be sold for more on ebay. If you ever find a 20p without a year on they are worth loads, alternatively if you find a Kew Gardens 50p you can sell them for anything up to £100

Coins are worth money.

A lad I work with cottoned on to this and put one on E Bay a few months ago, he got £1.54 for his 50 pence coin but forgot to put postage and packaging on which cost him over £2.

I know you can make money on rare ones but anyone spending more than its monetary value on a coin at the very least deserves filling in.

Can you imagine if you put what you thought was a 'rare' £10 note on and the winning bid was only £2 or something? I'm sure there'd be a moral in that story somewhere, like the financial crash.

I've got a full set of ninja turtles collectors coins from when I was a kid. I have no Benjamin Buttons though. There's a lad at work is bang into this 50p being worth a tenner etc. I don't get it.

I have some England World Cup coins from Esso Garages in a presentation pack. Terry Butcher and Lineker et al somewhere in the loft.

They worth out?

I have a brand new £1 note (obviously not brand new but in pristine condition), is that worth out?

It's time to plug the LRB again. John Lanchester, who writes some great stuff on finance, has a good (but long) piece on money in the latest edition.

In short, money is worth whatever you believe it is worth, but in reality, it is worthless. My favourite money fact is in there; only around 5 per cent of all money in the UK is backed by real money in the bank. If we all claimed our money from the bank tomorrow, we'd all get 4 pence in the pound. It's a bit like being a creditor of Darlow.
