The metal is pretty soft, the lettering is weak on the reverse and the obverse is almost indistinct. First time I've found something like this. Will keep it as an oddity.

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 02:07 am I've seen fakes at wholesale gem and mineral shows that the folks from overseas bring with them. These are sold as souvenirs too. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16831 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 05:04 am It's probably made of lead. And back in 1941, 10 milliemes was probably worthwhile trying to fake for a local. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 06:48 am I too got myself a coin set from Egypt, however none of those coins looked particularily fake, nor were they "old", 60's at most. No silvers in that set, sadly. Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 3:45 pm Well, I actually broke open my set... the coins had mould spots on them and the acid in the plastic had affected some of the coins. The glue that held the whole set together was crumbling anyway, so techincally nothing was broken Report this Post to the Staff
