So why isn't it a coin? You can use it for 4 new pence can't you?

It's a coin. Not intended for circulation and worth slightly more than bullion.

No not really, and if it hadn't been punched through it would've been worth considerably more than fourpence.

I don't think Britain ever produced coin with holes in them, maybe if it was Australian?...heh
