OFF-METAL ERROR TWO PENCE FOUND IN CHARITY BUCKET

The almost unique coin was donated to a branch of the Royal British Legion as they were collecting in the street. They found the ultra rare 2p in amongst the normal coppers and pounds - and handed it to the bank to be destroyed thinking it was a fake. But The Royal Mint confirmed it was the result of a ‘minting error' when a blank 10p was accidentally put in a 2p mint.
