A 50p coin has exchanged hands for £400 on eBay, after the owner listed it with a 'printing error' dating back 10 years. The Girl Guide fifty pence piece came out in 2010 to celebrate 100 years of the girl guides, and, with 7.4million in circulation, it's not considered especially rare amongst collectors.

However, in this case eBay user Levmineu0 spotted something that makes it potentially valuable, and, as a result, has managed to trade it for £400.

The coin's description reads: "Rare 50 Pence Coin - Girls Guidance 2010 - Royal Mint Error Coin." Get the latest money advice, news and help straight to your inbox - sign up at mirror.co.uk/email When was the coin released?
