What makes you think one of these Philippine coins is fake? 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
erkle Pillar of the Community 1119 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 7:08 pm first he spotted the dates, then he googled the coin, ended up at youtube with a vid showing that the fakes are magnetic. we only started this a coin collecting stuff 2 months back, and he is already keener than me :) Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 8:03 pm I wouldn't put too much faith in a YouTube video, without corroborating evidence. There are all sorts of, frankly, ignorant whackjobs out there making coin videos that are either misleading or downright wrong. This sounds like one such video. Philippine 1 peso coins were made of plated steel from 2003. So the 2004 coin is supposed to be magnetic. Now, if the 1998 coin were magnetic, that's another story; from 1995 to 2003, they're supposed to be made of non-magnetic cupronickel. 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
