People have been told to check if they have a rare 50p coin after one sold for hundreds of pounds on eBay. One seller managed to sell the coin for £225 after listing it on the site - and there are apparently still thousands of them out there.
The 50 pence coin was released in 2009 and was part of a Blue Peter competition. Nine-year-old Florence Jackson won the competition and her drawing of an athlete doing the high jump was printed on to the coins.
These coins were released ahead of the 2012 Olympic games in London, reports Manchester Evening News. It is estimated around 20,000 coins were produced and were never officially put into circulation.
