People across the country are now being urged to check their loose change for a rare 50p coin - which could leave them quids in. Thousands of the rare coins are said to be in circulation and they are potentially worth £255.
The piece in question was released back in 2009 and it features an athlete doing the high jump. It was designed by nine-year-old Florence Jackson as part of a Blue Peter competition at the time.
Florence designed the drawing and it was then transferred onto the coins in the build up to the 2012 London Olympics. Over 20,000 of the coins were made and they never officially went into circulation but a few somehow entered, reports The Mirror.
