These rare coins could be worth a fortune!
SOURCE
If you’re a collector or just someone who’s kept a few old coins lying around, now might be the perfect time to give them a closer look. While it's common knowledge that some coins are worth more than their face value, a select few have been making waves recently. Collectors and enthusiasts alike are buzzing over six specific coins that are far more valuable than you might think.
Do any of these old British coins ring a bell? They could be sitting in your collection right now, and if they are, you might be in for a pleasant surprise.

First on the list is the 1924 Florin, or two shillings. This coin is highly sought after, fetching up to £65 if it's in fine condition. But if you’re lucky enough to have an uncirculated version, you could be looking at a value as high as £145!
Next up is the rare 1949 Brass Threepence (3p). With a shockingly low mintage of just 464,000, it’s no wonder this coin is so valuable. Recently, one sold for just under £500 in fine condition — not a bad return for a little coin.
Another rare gem to keep an eye on is the 1925 Florin. This coin has a slightly higher mintage than the 1949 Brass 3p, at just over a million. Even so, it's still quite rare and highly collectible. In good condition, you could sell this for around £40, but an uncirculated version could command over £500.
The fourth coin on our list is truly a mystery. The 1869 Penny has an unknown mintage, but one thing's for sure — it's valuable. In good condition, this penny could be worth up to £5,000!

Collectors also prize the 1905 Half Crown, which is one of the rarest half crowns ever minted. With just 160,000 in circulation, its value ranges from £450 to a staggering £10,000 depending on its condition.
Finally, we have a coin that’s the stuff of legends: the 1933 Penny. If you ever stumble upon one of these, consider yourself extremely fortunate. This coin is so rare that if you manage to find one, you’re looking at a guaranteed value of at least £200,000!
So, what are you waiting for? It might be time to go through your collection and see if you’re holding onto a small fortune without even realizing it. You never know what hidden treasures could be tucked away in that pile of loose change!

Sadly no European or UK coins in my collection. I have an old piece from Asia that I am not really sure what it is. I think I shared it on here a long long time ago, but I can't really remember. If I had to guess it's probably similar to your average American penny :P
Thank you, @welshstacker . I enjoy reading this!
