nautilator Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 12/24/2019 9:25 pm Quote: There's also an advertising(?) token out there right now made of zirconium, but as it doesn't look any different from your generic white metal so I'm passing on that one. Decided to get one of these at last. It's an advertising token at best and barely counts as numismatics but whatever. The guy has one more at the moment. Report this Post to the Staff

nautilator Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 12/28/2019 3:49 pm Swedish medal created for the Stockholm expo of 1897. Unlike others like the Conradty notgelds, this is probably literally crushed coal. I base that on two observations: a) it says they are manufacturers of coal for electricity and chemistry b) this has a sparkle that the others do not. That sparkle matches the luster you see on anthracite or similar. This is not easily visible on the pictures but the light specks that look like they might be dust are the lustrous bits.

notgeldman Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 983 Posts	Posted 01/21/2020 09:44 am Porcelain coins are sometimes grouped a such but actual materials used might be majolica and stoneware. There are also the celluloid badge-like 'kapselgeld' notgeld which are more 'coin' than 'note'. I'll try and upload some pictures..... Report this Post to the Staff

nautilator Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 03/29/2020 7:58 pm This has the consistency of oilcloth notgelds, and as oilcloth was commonly made of cotton, I'd like to think it's so. This goes with the corkwood nickels as essentially a municipal trade token. Self note: have to study a bit more about the differences between Majolica and Stoneware. Report this Post to the Staff

casualcoincollector Pillar of the Community United States 574 Posts	Posted 06/27/2020 1:22 pm So, I came across a new one recently although it doesn't come out for about a year. It's a 2021 German 10 Euro coin with a copper-nickel core, a polymer ring and then a copper-nickel blue niobium plated ring on the outside. The business strike of this coin is actual meant to circulate freely and thus would add niobium to the metals used in circulating coins. Report this Post to the Staff
