Lucky owners are asked to register their details at www.undated20p.com and then post the dateless coin(s) back.
Alternatively, those looking to keep their new-found collectable can register and request a presentation box.

They are fetching up to £200 on ebay, there are some conmen on there trying to pass off normal 20p's as undated by saying there is no date on the Queens head side, every old ( the one with the rose on it ) 20p is undated on the Queens head side, I've got £35's worth of 20p's in the cashbox and I aint got one :0(((((

you actually have to look very hard for the date. We had a load today and most had the date on the 'tails' side but one from 2008 had the date on the 'head' side. These without a date will be very shiny as they have only just been released.

My daughter gave me bags of 20p, 10p and 5ps and I gave her the notes......so I change the money in the T****s coin machine and put the ticket in when I pay the bill.....

You can guess, I had two x £5 bags of 20ps which I put in the machine last week.......I am wondering now if one of those 20ps could have been in there....

Sally I would guess not, I think they are very recently circulated.
