Rare £2 coin sells for £255 because of design error - check your change

A rare £2 coin that appears to be all one colour due to a design error has sold for £255 on eBay.

A normal £2 consists of a yellow metal nickel-brass ring on the outside, and a grey cupro-nickel disc in the middle - but this one is all yellow.

The coin, which is dated 2009, sold for £255 exactly, plus £1.50 delivery, after attracting a flurry of 28 bids following a seven-day auction.
