CanadianCoins1999 Valued Member Canada 335 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 7:44 pm I found this twoonie when buying a book I immediately noticed it was different so I looked closer and applied a bit of pressure and to my surprise this happened, does it have any real value over FV or is it counterfeit.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 8:06 pm I am just wondering if it is a forgery. I know the Brits are having a lot of trouble with forged One Pound coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Its intriguing for someone that has never seen a twoonie in two. That is how to get 2 1 dollars from 1 2 dollar coin. Report this Post to the Staff

You need liquid nitrogen or the right technique - like other situations in life: pressure in the right spot Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 10:37 am when they first came out I had some success with a household freezer and then spiking the coin onto a cement floor. of course if it doesn't pop in the first throw it ends up looking like the OPs coin Report this Post to the Staff
