If you find an aquatic 50p error coin with lines over the face, it could allegedly be worth a fortune.
The person said: "A small handful of this original design was put into circulation but it was then adapted very quickly to show the face above the water with so few of the original design out there. It's meant the coin's value has been pushed up significantly."
