AJSP New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 02/22/2011 1:25 pm Was given these when I was a kid! Just wondering what they are. Are the real coins? Or something made by somebody? The American penny is TINY! The rest are paper thin! ""The Canada penny is for size comparison"" Identified - moved to Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 02/22/2011 2:19 pm All of those are readily available on the net. My dad bought me a set in '68, which I still have. A 7-11 cashier would probably melt-down if you spent one. Report this Post to the Staff
AJSP New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 02/22/2011 2:22 pm Are they a part of a set of anything? Is there a history behind them to why they were made? Thanks for your time fioti! Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 13548 Posts	Posted 02/22/2011 5:00 pm The little gold ones are "miniatures", made for jewellery purposes. You can find them in the form of several different kinds of famous world coins. The two top ones at least are probably made of 8k gold. The tiny cent was indeed part of a set. THey were often sold as a novelty labelled "worlds smallest coins", though of course they're not real official coins. 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

Beyond that, anyone can make them. I've seen them marked Nixon money, Carter money, inflation money, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
