I picked up this Charles I - Scottish 20 Pence coin minted 1637-1642. Alas it would be pretty unlikely to find one in change today.
Edinburgh mint.

That's a cool coin, Bacchus. I really like the design.

More likely to pick up that Charles 20p than a modern Charles 20p in circulation.

To avoid the confusion implied by the OP's title, a Scottish 20 pence coin from the reign of one of the earlier Charleses would normally be abbreviated "20d" rather than "20p".

I wish someone would tell the American TPGs this. They have the annoying tendency to abbreviate both the decimal and predecimal penny as "P".
