Just received this from our CCCS coin grading company and its a MS64 1980 Canadian 1 cent struck on a 2.88g Australian 5 cent planchet. Thought I would share this with the Australian site. Enjoy!!

It's the first I've heard of one.

Canada struck some coins for Australia in the early 1980s, due to industrial action at the Australian mint.

Sap - I would like to find out more info one day on the specific years Canada made coins for Australia. This coin could be scarcer than we think. Its the only one I know of too.
