New to the forum. If this is the wrong place sorry. But got a strange coin today and was wondering if anyone had any idea what it is?

It is very dry. Looks like it got caught up in the moment.

I don't think the dryer did that to the devices however.

Here is a similar one: https://goccf.com/t/130367

My guess about devices might be that it isn't caused by heat alone but rather rubbing against clothes/lint as well. This will simulate a coin being in circulation for a very long time.
