what kind of error is this called?
196.....-Error-Penny...-Any-One-Seen-This-Before?

196.....-Error-Penny...-Any-One-Seen-This-Before?

You can see that it is a little smaller than a regular penny

That is called a Dryer Coin. One that has been stuck in a dryer.

These often make me think of being a rock tumbler coin. The general distortion, but not rolled over rims. Still waiting for someone to volunteer to create one of these.

Seeing it not on my phone, it is a Dryer Coin. Hard to tell with the smaller images compared with the computer screen.

But still wanting a project with a rock tumbler and a cent or other coin to see what the result would be.

I just took back change to a counting machine at the bank. There was a nickel in my group that looked very similar to this cent. I just left it in the reject tray. It rejected it about three times. Someone else will probably be posting it shortly.
