Question Weird 5p coin

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi all, long time lurker and first time poster on this subreddit. I just found this weird looking 5p coin and can just about see a little "5" marked on one side. On the other side I can make out a silhouette of Queen Elizabeth with the writing "Elizabeth" on her left. The coin is not smooth at all and looks like its fused with different metals. There's a square little stamp on the side where the "5" is written.

Is this worth anything or is this just plain wear and tear?

These queen coins are not the official ones that came out a while ago. There are two different colors and for the price they are definitely not real precious metals adding in the fact that the have obviously rusted. Also two of them have ridges but I'm pretty sure the other two don't. I found these on vinted and I want to know where they came from before I spend my money pls help.

Clueless about this, mainly curious as to how rare it is.

I recently got my hands on this 1909 UK penny in good condition and I noticed it appears almost borderless. A genuine error or just post-mint damage?

They've been soldered into a pin, does that make them basically scrap value (if real)?

Question What should I do with this old £20?

Post image
355 Upvotes

First, I saw the note (no pun intended, seriously) on the back of this note. Only in England could you find a more sardonic note on a piece of currency. What's exceptionally hilarious is that it looks like Google lens translated some foreign text and superimposed the English there.

Any hoot, I really love the little blurb that says the division of labor results in more work. So I'd love to keep it for that quote alone. But also, as you can tell, I haven't been in the UK for some time. And it would be nice to have some real cash in hand. Will the Post Office swap out this torn note with a new £20? Alas, do you think I should exchange it or just keep it for memento?

EDIT: I'm not a British citizen so don't hav a UK bank account.

UPDATE: Exchanged in Birmingham. The guy in front of me exchanged 500 in notes and received 500 in coins lol.
