My guess would be a Dryer Coin, based off the rim and the reduced size.

Dryer coin. The rim is slowly being rolled inwards as it spins around, usually in the outer drum or between the drum and baffles and sometimes it may go under and into one of the flippers. Here's a pic of one that was in the dryer a little longer than yours.
