sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/08/2010 07:23 am I went to da school where they learned ya to talk proper! I have 5P and 10P steel coins,...... yes steel!, coins as mint errors. They have no plating on them at all. Quite a few countries around the world already have plated steel coins, South Africa being one of them. Edited by sel_69l 09/08/2010 07:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
