Re: undated 20p on ebay (mine)
I personally think it should be illegal to sell 'ordinary, common' coins for more than their actual worth.
Tickets for festivals normally have T&Cs stating they can't be sold for more than what they are worth (if they are permitted to by sold on at all) and I think this should apply to things like money as well. It undermines the entire concept of cash value if you can sell it for more than it is actually worth, it's absolutely ridiculous, especially when the justification of it is 'well people should read things properly'... yes, they definitely should, but that also indicates that people are taking advantage out of people who don't know any better, and if it was done of the scale of big business, I'd like to think more of a fuss would be made.
Exploitation isn't nice in any given situation and I think to justify one kind but disapprove of another is inconsistent at too many levels for me!
