I am wondering if 20p coins in the UK have a date imprinted on them. I want to know if there is a specific year or date marked on these coins. Did 20p coins have a date on them?

A significant number of 20p coins were produced without the year of mintage inscribed on them.

This was a rare occurrence, as coins have typically included a date for over 300 years.

Of the 136 million 20p coins minted that month, only a small fraction were affected by this error.

Specifically, around 250,000 coins were released into circulation without a date.

In November 2008, an unusual mistake occurred during the minting process.
