These have made their way down to Toronto as well. I managed to get "stuck" with several, but I haven't dissected mine. |

Andre, that's hilarious! If the centers are that loose, they probably have a "dull" ring even when intact. Edited by KurtS

I have look at this coin more closely and this is a good coin not a contrefeit one  The seal for the inner part was not done properly so this is why the coin come appart so this make this coin an error. andre |

Ever since I started seeing the bi-metalic coins of Mexico, I always wondered how easily they would come apart, (if at all). I guess this answeres my question. It would seem that they either have to use pressure to push the center piece into the ring, or maybe heat the ring, so it will expandm and then insert the core, then allowing it to cool., making a very tight fit. As far as a counterfeit, there will always be some smart=donky, who will try to make a buck, even if it costs him his liberty for twenty years!

Someone may have previously knocked the centre out and put it back in. I don't think you can really call it an error coin. An altered coin yes.

For your information I looked at the coin with microscope at 10 x and 60 x and I don't see any signe of tool use to tkae the center part of if youlook at the inner ring of the coin the seal thatis useto prevent the coin to come apart is not flanged around the center part if this was forced out it wood show broken metal around the coin witch this is not present on this coin.
My opinion

If you put a Twoonie in the freezer for a while, you can separate the inner core as the two metals contract at different rates. This is one way to do it without leaving tool marks. Getting it back in, well, that's a different story! LOL

Very nice way to do it I din't think of this one but you see mine come off and goes on easy so what I think is those coins after they are made and the inner part insert there is a machine making edge to seal the two part together and on this coin it din't happen .
