flag Rare Brexit 50p coins with wrong dates may be worth over £40,000; experts urge Britons to check theirs.

flag Britons are being urged to check their Brexit-themed 50p coins for rare minting errors with incorrect dates—March 29, 2019, or October 31, 2019—potentially worth over £40,000. flag Originally planned for release in March 2019 before Brexit was delayed, a small number of coins were mistakenly produced with outdated dates, including around 1,000 trial pieces and about a million October-dated coins later destroyed. flag Two October 2019 examples have been found, and experts say surviving error coins are extremely scarce and highly valuable to collectors. flag A specialist highlighted the discovery on TikTok, calling it a rare "Golden Ticket" opportunity, though the Royal Mint has not confirmed how many may remain in circulation.
