Sudbury is one of the world's major mining communities. The region is one of the world's largest suppliers of nickel and copper ores   Which is sort of funny to me having been a geology minor in college, long time mineral collector. That their "Big Nickel" isn't made from either of the two main ores, copper or nickel,but out of aluminum. Hard rock geology is referring to mining, soft rock geology refers to oil and gas geology.

  here is the big penny from Sudbury, it to is made from aluminum and not either of the metals the area is famous for. Although it is flash plated with copper.

@circus, I have a version of the "big nickel" in copper-nickel, and one of the "big penny" that appears to be copper. There are a number of other large size medallions from the area as well, so keep looking.

Here is an example of woodmen of the world test coins. They have issued a number of different tokens in the past. They were and are a retirement group/ living home
