�5 coin

[Miss-taken]

I've had a �5 coin come into my possession - is it legal tender - can I either bank it or spend it??

[Loosehead]

Yes, yes and yes

I'd keep hold of it! My girlfriend's mam collects limited edition coins etc. If she had used the coins it probably would have came to about �200. 10 years later, they are worth around �2000.

Might be worth you holding on to it! - Unless there are going to be appearing everywhere.
