Royal Mint's reveals 9 rarest £2 coins in circulation in UK
While experts have urged everyone to check their change for another First World War inspired coin, which could be worth more than £500.
Originally released in 2014 by the Royal Mint, the coin commemorates 100 years since the start of the First World War.
The coin shows the face of Lord Kitchener who featured on the 'Your Country Needs You' posters.
While a normal version of the coin will be worth no more than its face value of £2, a batch of the coins featured a rare error that boost their value for collectors.
On some of the coins the words 'Two Pounds' are missing on the head side of the coin.
According to experts at Coin Hunter, 5,720,000 of these coins are still in circulation but it appears to be 'very rare' to find one without a date.
It isn't clear exactly how many of coins with an error remain in circulation but the first of its kind sold in March 2020 for £500.

Coin Hunter experts said on Facebook: "Check your coins that feature Lord Kitchener.
"If the heads side does not show 'TWO POUNDS' - you have an error that appears to be very rare."
Royal Mint rarest £2 coins
These are the 9 rarest £2 coins according to the Royal Mint, and their mintage.
A Royal Mint spokesman said: 'It's been 27 years since the first UK £2 coins were struck for circulation, sparking a year of celebrations, but the coin's history actually stretches back to 1986 when the first commemorative UK £2 coin was struck for the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh.
'This was the first time a sporting event had been commemorated on UK coinage.
'Although these coins have the same diameter as the post-1997 circulating £2 coin, they are single-coloured nickel brass and much heavier.'

World War naval base and Swedish ship given protected status
The Scapa Flow site off the coast of Orkney has a number of different historic marine assets including the largest concentration of warship wrecks and other wartime artefacts in the UK. It played an important role as a naval base during the two World Wars of the 20th century and was the location of the internment and scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet at the end of the First World War. The Queen of Sweden is one of the best-preserved remains of a Swedish East India Company ship located in waters around Scotland. She was built in Stockholm in 1741 to trade with China - the largest ship built for the company at that time – and sank off the coast of Shetland in 1745 during strong winds. READ MORE: The first Historic Marine Protected Areas were designated by the Scottish Government in 2013 to identify and protect marine historic assets of national importance which survive in Scottish territorial waters. It is a criminal offence to remove, alter or disturb any of the protected sites across the country. Confirming the designation of the two sites on Monday during a tour of the Scapa Flow site, Ms Martin said: 'These two new Historic Marine Protected Areas - at Scapa Flow, and the Queen of Sweden wreck site in Shetland - are important additions to our network of Historic MPAs, which protect the most significant wreck sites across Scotland's seas. 'The designation of these sites recognises their national value and will help to ensure that future generations can continue to explore, learn from, and be inspired by Scotland's underwater heritage. I'm grateful for the support from local authorities, heritage bodies, and marine industries in bringing these designations forward.'

These sites are nationally important parts of Scotland's maritime history and this recognition will ensure they can be protected and enjoyed responsibly for generations to come.' Orkney Islands Council Leader Heather Woodbridge said: 'Wrecked vessels, including those of the German High Seas Fleet, are a significant heritage asset and attract visitors from all over the world, contributing to the economy of Orkney. "Sadly, the condition of the wrecks is deteriorating, and these important remains will not last forever. Officially recognising and protecting these sites is therefore vitally important to maximise their longevity. This Historic MPA will ensure these irreplaceable assets are protected from future human damage or disturbance while still allowing for responsible access, research and education where appropriate.' Shetland Islands Council Leader Emma Macdonald said: 'We welcome this Historic MPA designation, which will help preserve an important part of Shetland's maritime heritage. The Queen of Sweden is one of the best-preserved 18th-century trading vessels, lying in shallow waters and popular with local divers. This designation will provide her with greater protection while ensuring she remains accessible to the diving community.' The Historic Marine Protected Areas for the Scapa Flow and Queen of Sweden designations will come into effect on November 1, 2025.

Rare 20p coin with 'problem' on 250k designs worth loads – see if you own one
The 20p coin is considered the 'holy grail' of UK change and one of these could be sitting in your pocket. But it's worth noting only a certain amount of these feature the error Ever wondered if you're sitting on a fortune? Just recently the rarest 50p coin with 200,000 in circulation turned heads as it's worth a lot more than face value. So it's pretty understandable why collectors are going wild for rare coins at the moment. Now the 'holy grail' of UK change is causing a meltdown on Instagram after the @CoinCollectingWizard, who boasts 30,100 followers, shared an insight into this special 20p coin you must look out for. It is believed the problem impacted around 250,000 coins of the Shield 20p piece so it means just one of these holds a value of £50, or more. In the post, he said: "It's all to do with a dye mix up at The Royal Mint causing the coin to have no date. "This problem affected less than 250,000 coins of the 136million 20p pieces minted in 2008 and was due to the previous obverse the heads side being used with the new reverse the tails side design meaning the year of issue did not feature at all." Speaking about the piece, he continued: "Considered by many as one of the holy grails of UK change, collecting the undated 20p is always at the top of any coin collectors' wish list." The Royal Mint also confirmed this is the first time in over 300 years where a coin had entered circulation without a date. This essentially makes it extremely sought after by coin collectors. "As you can see from these eBay sold prices, the undated 20p is an easy sell for around £50, so always make sure to check those 20p coins," the Instagram user concluded. The coin is one of the rarest 20p pieces out there and can be extremely hard to find. In 2008, The Royal Mint changed the design of the circulating coins which is when the year of the design moved from the reverse to the obverse. This led to a batch of these coins to be struck with the incorrect old obverse, meaning the coin didn't display a date on it.

See inside the 'forgotten' stunning 'fairytale' castle in Scotland
Purchased by the McDonald Family in 1853, the original home was demolished to make way for the present structure, which now lies as a ruin. Sir John Macdonald, who commanded the land forces in Scotland, also built much of the nearby village of Kinloch Rannoch, including its Episcopal Church and the MacDonald Arms Hotel (now the Dunalastair Hotel Suites). See the abandoned 'fairytale' castle in Scotland that has been 'forgotten' In 1881, the estate in Scotland was sold by Alastair Macdonald, son of Sir John, to Hugh Tennent. It was then bought by James Clark Bunten, Chairman of the Caledonian Railway Company, according to the Dunalastair Estate website. The Perthshire house itself, which was designed by local architect Andrew Heiton, was only used for its original purpose until the First World War, when the staff needed to run the large estate were no longer available. During the Second World War, the property was requisitioned and used as a Polish school. During this time, the castle suffered major damage and saw the loss of its Millais painting when a fire broke out in the drawing room. Dunalastair House was built in the 19th century (Image: Getty Images) In the 1950s, the contents of the house were sold off after the late owner's grandmother passed away. The house was then badly vandalised in the 1960s when lead from the roof was stolen and other easily removable parts were taken. Nowadays, the site lies in a ruinous state, but, despite this, it has been described as a "forgotten treasure" by the Tartan and Teacups blog and an "incredible" castle by The Bearded Explorer on YouTube. Recommended Reading: Those coming here can still see the coat of arms over one of the entrances, while the skeleton of the "impressive" ruin remains intact. In one section of the former home, a tree can be seen growing through one of the doorways. The inside of the building appears to be precarious to traverse, with the vlogger saying: "This is probably the most dangerous site I have ever explored."
