erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 1518 Posts	Posted 12/23/2022 07:58 am A 1921 ½ penny with the center part replaced with a 1951 3 pence, and a 1920 penny with, similarly, a 1962 6 pence. Cool idea. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 15407 Posts	Posted 12/23/2022 08:16 am They are concoctions privately made by somebody as a novelty. You sometimes see them marketed as "seven pence coins" (or seven-halfpence, in the case of the smaller one). Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21179 Posts	Posted 12/23/2022 08:20 am Similar items occasionally for sale at coin shows. Scarce, but not rare. Produced commercially from existing pre decimal coins during the early 1970's. Report this Post to the Staff

Often just by right clicking on an image and chosing 'Search image with Google' will yield results. Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2139 Posts	Posted 12/26/2022 10:15 pm There was an article in a recent Coin and Banknote magazine about one of the guys who makes these - I think it was in a small town in South Australia and he has recently retired. Report this Post to the Staff
