    It could be worth a lot sometime in the future. You don't happen to have a 1992 20 pence Irish coin lying around? :)

    Yes there were only 2 1992 20p coins made as they were trying them out. One of them was sold at an auction earlier this year it sold for 19k euro or somewhere near that figure.

    the coin you are thinking of is a 1985 20 pence piece, the 1992 20p is quite common, I think around 14 million were made and worth very little
    Also even if you are talking about the 85 20p I do not know what auction you are talking about where it made 19k

    No the coin I am talking about is the 1992 20p coin. There was a program about it on radio RTE1 last spring before the coin was auctioned. The reason it went so dear is because there were only 2 made that year as they were changing to new coins. There were 50 of the 1985 coins made so they wouldn't be as valuable.

    Ever hear of checking facts before posting? eBay is one of the simplest first ports of call when trying to establish values.

    I was quoting what I heard on the radio ;) Anyway it looks like the radio program got their facts wrong, it was the 1992 10 pence coin. Here's a link

    Exactly I was just about to post this fact. That it's the '92 10p that a handful were struck to calibrate phone booths etc. with the new smaller size coin. Much like what happened with the 1985 20p. Only 2 of the 1992 10p's are known to be in private hands. However the radio program I heard did get this fact right, they said the 1992 10p. It was discussed here:

    Unless you were listening to a different radio program to me. I don't forget easily. I know what I heard and they said the 20p coin. I even know where was when i heard it.
