X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 12:39 am I got this ECU coin that I cannot find in any google search. It's slightly larger than a Morgan dollar, about as thick and the ring is lower, but it looks like nickel on the surface. Does anyone know anything about it? The edge is plain except from a partial and small inscription. Report this Post to the Staff

From what I could piece together, this may have circulated at the 1992 olympics much like Disney dollars circulate at Disney parks. Report this Post to the Staff
Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 08:19 am No, not at all. I think that is only a token or medal to get profit of a foreign event... There are a lot of countries that minted coins celebrating the "Spanish Olympics Games" of Barcelona 92 but I can assure to you that all those "coins" never circulated in Spain...

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 09:12 am I was thinking it might be a medal, too. Nothing showed up when I searched for coin atleast. Checked its weight and it clocked in on 22 grams, no idea what that is in Imperial mesurements. (My morgan weighs 27 grams) From those numbers I feel even more confident it isn't silver.
