You may remember our post about coins being worth more than their face value, well recently these Beatrix Potter coins have been selling for as much as £670 (but most likely £35-£100).
The coins were only circulated in the Lake District last week, the Peter Rabbit coin will be followed by coins featuring three more characters later in the year.
The coloured versions are going for the most money with the non-coloured starting at around £55.
It will be worth keeping an eye out for other commemorative coins as a new £2 coin to mark 400 years since William Shakespeare’s death and one for the Battle of Hastings, 950 years ago will be released this year.
