Your story lives on snowdogg70. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/g...g-i-did.htmlI have purchased a pile of these in my lifetime and have never had anything but a plastic toy. Sorry. Was there a COA included with the coin or tasty chocolate beauty box/presentation case? SPP, NCLT spies are everywhere -   Edited by SilverDon

I agree great story, thanks for sharing it.
Scottk- Just a joke chocolate bird lays chocolate egg.
As we all know its impossible for a real bird to lay an egg with a coin it..

I've bought hundreds of those eggs for the kids and never saw any real coins, where are you buying yours?

@scottk Kinder is German for children. As in kinder-garten being a children's garden or playground.

In English we refer to them as "Kinder eggs", but I was talking to a German friend lately, and he was pretty confused by the term. Kinder is a pretty big brand here, and they make several types of chocolates, so the eggs are called "Kinder Surprise (Ueberaschung)"
And alas, I have never come across that sort of surprise yet.

I was born in Ontario but my father was in the air force and we moved to Germany to a CDN air force base and area for a period of about 7 years. I was just a kid when I was there. Kinder Eggs were great, never a great prize, though, always plastic stuff.
I actually read a story a while ago about a person who was busted at the CDN/US border with Kinder Eggs. LOL

born in Ontario and my father was stationed in
Germany, I don't remember the German kinder eggs,
but I don't think they consider it baby food.lol

An Italian States 5 lire coin from 1848 should be a large silver coin, 25 grams - the same size as a North American silver dollar - and way too big to fit into a Kinder egg (here in Australia, they're marketed as "Kinder Surprise"). I've seen several replicas of the Lombardy-Venetia 5 lire coin on the forum before; the genuine ones look like this. The replicas often have garbled legends with nonsense jumbled-up letters. I now suspect that the "coin" posted in this old thread from someone else in Canada is also a Kinder Surprise / magic kit replica. So I'm afraid that whoever paid $200 for the OP's "coin" paid about $198 too much. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Kinder eggs are made in Italy so I would suspect there is a small chance the coin was real and used to test the toy, then maybe mistakenly left in the toy...? Would have been a dumb employee playing with it or maybe leaving it in their on purpose. They wouldn't put dirty coins into a kinder toy, so if the coin was real it was just a huge fluke
