Check your £2 coins from 2015 as an error could make it worth up to £25

Coin experts are urging all of us to check our change for a £2 coin that “could be worth way more” and make us a “quick profit”.

Coin experts are urging everyone to check their change for a £2 coin that “could be worth way more” and make them a “quick profit”.

The coin in question is a £2 coin from 2015, and everyone is being encouraged to carry out a simple check to test for a rotation error, that could make the coin worth far more than its face value.

The check involves twisting the coin between your thumb and forefinger to see where the Queen is aligned in relation to the date on the coin.

Coin expert McNeil.Inc.Coins produced a TikTok video explaining why it is important to check for a potential error.

He said: “This is why you should always check your 2015 £2 coins.

“Anytime you see this coin check the date and then do this little check to see if you have an error. You may have a rotation error on your hands.”

He explained that you should place your thumb below the date on the tail side of the coin, and your forefinger above the P at the top of the face.

You should then rotate the coin to the heads side, and if it is a normal coin the Queen will be facing to the right.

If she isn’t, then you could have a much more valuable coin on your hands.

He explained: “If you can find a 2015 coin where she is looking any other way you have found a rotation error.

“This coin on the market will go for anywhere between £10 and £25 depending on the condition.

“Check your 2015s because your £2 could be worth way more, making you a quick profit.”
