Check your change! Did you know that the King James Bible £2 coins are now worth more than 200 pennies? 

Minted in 2011 to commemorate the 400th year of this seminal translation, the coins are selling on eBay for around £40. The translation was commissioned in 1604 by King James and brought the Bible into the common English language for the first time.
