MessyCupcake New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 06:54 am I've had this since I was about four or five and I have tried to research and have always come up with nothing. Does anyone have any info on this?! Posed with a Wheat penny as close to the same year as I can get to show size. 1.9 g in weight Not magnetic Does not make a noise when dropped Does not bend And yes it has looked like this since I received it. Thank you and happy coin collecting! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 07:23 am @messy, if you are talking about the '43 cent, it clearly states that it is a copy. Are you asking why someone made a copy in the first place?

MessyCupcake New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 1:49 pm Hey yall, ok so definitely not plastic and didn't come from any you sets in my youth. But if it was a toy, I'll have to find out who in my family gave it to me or if I found it in some change. Hopefully one of my parents might know (or remember, it has been 25+ years). It is just the strangest little thing. I was hoping it had a background history. It is just so tiny and strange! Possibly some kind of tin or something would be my only guess.

Nells250 Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 2:04 pm I've seen some coin-like... well... coins at auction that seem to have been used as training tools. By that I mean for tellers or anyone who had to handle large amounts of coins. Perhaps this is one of those? EDIT: trying to locate one of those listings to see for myself!
