I might have it, I might not. I used to just put everything I like in a can, so it might still be there. I just don't know which one. It's definitely not with me now though, I've left it back home. Wouldn't be until at the end of this month before I can see them again, still in that can.

It was either a bimetallic Rp 1000 or a 1973 Rp 100. Don't exactly remember which one.
The Rp 1000 is uncommon to find in circulation, everyone uses the bills instead because the coin is very heavy and I mean very heavy for its size. I saved every one I found or was given by my mom as pocket change. I used to call them "fried egg coins" I have one with me now, it hitchhiked in my wallet (I thought I had emptied it) to see Canada!
The Rp 100 was a gift from my mom when she saw I liked the brass (older issue) coins.
Either way, it sparked my interest and I saved till I had half a can of coins (which was the time I left), a mix of both brass and aluminium issues.
