coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/23/2022 2:49 pm Probably making a coin for the soda machine to get a 10 cent soda for one cent. That's what it looks like to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94932 Posts	Posted 02/23/2022 3:15 pm this coin was sanded down and also shaped, notice it is not round anymore. It appears the have 12 'flat' sides, a Dodecagon at this point. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/23/2022 5:46 pm Ya back then the machines weren't that smart. Just grind it down close enough to a dime size , that way diameter and weight were close enough to go through. Report this Post to the Staff
