Anyone got any idea what this coin is? I found it in a roll of pennies at my store.

Subman1, first welcome to CCF! Second, I belive that you have a replica ancient Jewish coin called a Pruta. Someone else here should be able to confirm this.

As stated above, it's a replica "widow's mite". You can buy them in bulk from religious supplies stores for a couple of dollars each.
