Is it true that if you have a £2 coin and the queen has a necklace on then you can take it into the bank and swap it for £14... not sure if this is true, my mate told me though

An Urban Myth
During 1999, we became aware of a persistent rumour that a two pound coin with the queen wearing a necklet was worth £15. There is no truth in this rumour. It is the sort of story which appears to start for no particular reason, and then self-perpetuates in a form of "Chinese whispers", so that it becomes part of an urban folklore of misinformation.
gutted i dont think so matey :(

The bi-metallic £2 coin with the Queen wearing a necklace is the first effigy design of the type issued in 1997. This design is better known as the Maklouf head, and is the famous 'necklace' coin falsely rumoured to have 'enormous value'. From 1998 onwards the bi-metallic £2 uses the Rank-Broadley design of the Queen. The 1997 £2 has a lower mintage compared to the current £2, and is therefore valued higher about £1-£2 more, but only if in mint condition.

At the bank 2 pounds is worth exactly 2 pounds. You would need to take it to a collector to get more money.

Reminds me of the irish currency when they recalled all the 20p coins - to put the saddle on the horse.

I see the U.S. is not the only country to have wild tales about coins or currency. Americans have a lot in common with the British and one is urban legends.

only if it's a pearl necklace ...... now that would be rare .... then the bank would splash out. But then they tend to come and go ...............
