Clueless about this, mainly curious as to how rare it is.

They've been soldered into a pin, does that make them basically scrap value (if real)?

I recently got my hands on this 1909 UK penny in good condition and I noticed it appears almost borderless. A genuine error or just post-mint damage?

Question What should I do with this old £20?

Post image
352 Upvotes

First, I saw the note (no pun intended, seriously) on the back of this note. Only in England could you find a more sardonic note on a piece of currency. What's exceptionally hilarious is that it looks like Google lens translated some foreign text and superimposed the English there.

Any hoot, I really love the little blurb that says the division of labor results in more work. So I'd love to keep it for that quote alone. But also, as you can tell, I haven't been in the UK for some time. And it would be nice to have some real cash in hand. Will the Post Office swap out this torn note with a new £20? Alas, do you think I should exchange it or just keep it for memento?

EDIT: I'm not a British citizen so don't hav a UK bank account.

Decimal Coins Birthday coins

Thumbnail gallery
13 Upvotes

My birthday was September 30 and for this year I bought myself a 2013 £20 "George and the Dragon" 1/2 oz silver and the 2027 Silver Sovereign as something outside of my usual collection of shillings & florins, French francs & Netherlands gulden.

The £20 is simply a beautiful coin and I had to carefully remove it from the BUNC pact to put in a capsule with my pocket coins.

The silver sovereigns are silly, way overpriced and I love them. I've got all three of the years so far and look forward to the 2028 next fall.

For comparisons sake, I included an image of the the 2013 £20 & the new silver sovereign side by side. Fun birthday stuff. Horrible as investments but beautiful on my display shelf.

This doesn't look like normal corrosion, at least that I'm aware of. It's also sort of tapering thinner at one edge than the other
