As stated it is a " Texas Cent".

SsuperDdave thanks for the link very interesting.

Anyone notice that uman2 tends to break up his reply into several post instead of saying it all in one post? I guess that is one way to get your total post count high quickly.

uman2 : No offense intended just an observation.

Coolfool2, there are other threads here about the "Texas cents".
Until you posted this 1994 coin I'd forgot all about them.
A pure copper coin would take the beating between two strips of leather better and not change colour because it is not plated.
Compared to the regular cent the size difference is pretty bold. I have wanted to try this myself ti see how far it can go. Thank you for posting and reminding me of the Texas Cent. (everything's bigger in Texas!)
