Can anyone please tell me if this coin is worth anything. I have found many online but none have the "copy" printed at the bottom. Thanks.

Being a copy for the tourist trade or whatever it is of no interest and has no value to a coin collector.

It is a copy of a "widows' mite". No value to a collector.

I don't think it's technically a "tourist copy", in the sense of being sold to tourists in Israel or elsewhere. The word "COPY is there to make it compliant with US law, so it most likely would have been made with the intent to sell in the US. Probably a "religious replica", of the kind sold in religious supplies stores. They are marketed as "buy one each for everyone in your Sunday school class, or everyone in your church".

I have to say, apart from the word "COPY" it's a lot more realistic than the typical Widow's Mite replica. But no, still not worth more than a dollar. It's a typical "scratchtray find".
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
