Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 12/27/2011 11:20 am None of them are nickel plated bigfredd. Either they are Chrome plated over nickel plated steel or they are nickel. A chrome plated five cent piece looks radically different than a nickel five cent piece, the colour is different, the look is different, the strike is obvious where it cuts the plating and if you have one of each you can't confuse them - So if people are struggling on how to instruct you in telling them apart it's because no one can imagine it being a problem, like telling apart an apple and a pomegranate. They might look (casually) the same on the surface but there's no mistaking them. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverBug Pillar of the Community Canada 862 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 1:25 pm I started to wonder why RCM created so many easter eggs? they made some special coin, all in a sudden a 5 cent worth 10k... is this a way to fight inflation? after one transaction, 10k is locked into this coin Report this Post to the Staff
