the-purple-penny Pillar of the Community Australia 515 Posts	Posted 08/29/2012 8:25 pm I am working on trying to identify a foreign planchet that has jumped into a barrel of blanks that struck Australian Coins at the Royal Australian Mint. It's a 1992 3.8g holed planchet that's magnetic. Does anyone have any ideas about what country/denomination this rogue planchet should have been for. Report this Post to the Staff

the-purple-penny Pillar of the Community Australia 515 Posts	Posted 08/29/2012 11:57 pm No pics, sorry. All in good time though, have you got your latest copy of CAB magazine? A danish 1 Kroner weighs slightly less and is copper-nickel, not magnetic. Great suggestion though I can't even come close. Diameter of the coin is 20.62mm. It is well struck but cannot say for certain if the planchet was intended for this size due to metal hardness and the hole in the middle. It could always be just a washer!

the-purple-penny Pillar of the Community Australia 515 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 12:50 am 5mm hole. It's too small to think that it is part of a bi-metal planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
