There are 136 50p, £2 and 10p coin designs in circulation today. 41 of the coins that can be found in your change today are only worth the face value of the coin, 95 are worth more due to demand from coin collectors.

All the commemorative coins shown on this page do sell for a bit more than face value, but the profit amount above face value is small and most would be lost in cost of sale fees (eBay / PayPal).

This page shows face value commemorative coin designs, definitive coin designs are not shown.

A quick search online will have you believing that the coin you have just found in your change is worth hundreds or even thousands of pounds. Headlines in the UK press such as "Rare Battle of Hastings 50p coin sells for £63,000" source: www.thesun.co.uk are not a true representation.
