Okay then, I will continue the theme...  Mystery coin is between 20 and 25 mm, is composed of more than 95% copper, and was minted the same year "Little Red Corvette" was released as a single.

Quote: 22.5 mm, aluminum bronze (less than 95% copper) Not it, of course, but a contender nonetheless.  Also, you got the album, not the single (next year).  Quote: Ooh. Any chance we could get one extra tiny piece of information? Southern Hemisphere.  I will throw another clue out later. I plan to end this tomorrow afternoon since I am not sure about my weekend plans yet.

I can't even find a coin with all of the parameters. Look forward to seeing what it is.

What got me was the awfully high content of copper in the bronze coin. I was plugging in copper into search engines. I don't know why I didn't think bronze. Silly me. Lesson learned. Onto the next one. Good luck bd251. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aus...wo-cent_coin

Yeah, I did not want to limit the guesses to bronze, but I can see where one would forget that it could fit the bill.

Close, I was going to say that of Kiwi 2 cents.
And yes FYI Little Red Corvette was the 2nd single off Prince's 1999 released Feb 1983. In Late April 1983 it bceame Prince's 1st top 10 hit joining the song 1999 and the 2 Michael Jackson smash hits Billie Jean and Beat it on MTV exposing many whites to the greatest music ever by Black pop artists.
