ChangeChecker is giving away a bronze error coin that could be worth £1,350
The bronze 20p was made due to a rare minting error and could be worth more than a thousand pounds
IT might only be a 20p coin but it could be worth a whole lot more - and you've got the chance to win it for free.
Coins website Change Checker is giving collectors the chance to win this bronze 20p coin, which is one of the rarest coins ever.
The 1987 coin was found by a collector, David Crosier, who decided to send the coin to the Royal Mint to find out more about it.
It confirmed that the bronze 20p was the result of an extremely-rare minting error, with a blank 1p somehow finding its way into the presses and ending up with a 20p struck onto it.
A similar 2p error sold for £1,350 last year so the bronze 2p could go for just as much - if not more - if the lucky winner decides to sell it.
The website is giving away the unique coin, along with a specially designed presentation box.
All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is to register with the
Collectors already registered will automatically be included in the draw.
Brits have gone coin and note crazy in 2017, with rare and desirable coins going for a small fortune when they come to market.
More on money
Trial versions of the new £1 coin were selling for up to £950 on eBay - even though they can't be spent in shops.
Collectors queued up overnight at the Bank of England to get their hands on the new £10 note featuring author Jane Austen.

Last month, a £5 coin marking the 300th anniversary of the death of Queen Anne was named the rarest £5 coin in the country - and could be worth up to £50.
HOW TO SELL A COIN OR NOTE ON EBAY
IF YOU think you've found a valuable tenner or 50p, here's what to do.
You can either sell the note or coin at auction or on eBay. Try speaking to a note specialist, like Spink & Son about getting it valued.
If you want to sell it on eBay, then remember to sell a minimum price for the note or coin.
Even if your coin “sells” on eBay for a high price there’s no guarantee that the buyer will cough up.
In its terms and conditions, the auction website states that bidders enter a “legally binding contract to purchase an item”, but there’s no way to enforce this rule in reality.
The most eBay can do is add a note to their account about the unpaid item or remove their ability to bid and buy.
This is because in order to sign up to the website users do not need to put in valid bank or PayPal details before making a bid.
If a bidder refuses to pay, then the only option for sellers is to give “second chance offers” to other bidders or relist the item.
For items of a high value eBay recommends that sellers put a limit on their listing to approve bidders.
It means bidders must email you before placing a bid but NOT that they must pay out the cash if they win.
