A very special 50p coin has been sold on eBay for 300 times more than its value - and coin experts expect there to be thousands more in circulation.
The coin in question was released in 2009 to mark 250 years since the opening of London's famous Kew Gardens in 1759. The Royal Mint estimate around 210,000 were made, so it's well worth checking your purse! Finding a similar coin won't change your life, but it might take the pressure off your bills for a week or two.
The coin features the famous Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Garden on the tails side with the Queen's face as normal on the other. According to the Liverpool Echo, the seller closed on a surprising windfall last Tuesday.
