Good Afternoon,

Im new here so bear with me. I'm an avid and active coin collector and stacker for 25 years. I'm looking for help identifying the attached round / coin. I have never seen it before and there are no images like it posted on the internet. Obviously modeled after the Roosevelt dime. The word Millenium is misspelled on the reverse. Pics should load below. Let me know what you think.

It is not a coin,I think it is considered a silver round. What size is it?

With no weight, and an odd fineness (I assume ".950" is a fineness mark), and dime-sized, I'd be reluctant to call it a "bullion round". It's also obviously not a counterfeit, since it doesn't appear to be trying to fool anybody into thinking it's a real dime.

.
"Millennium" is often mis-spelled "millenium". The one-N version has become so common it is approaching the status of "alternative spelling", even though most dictionaries continue to insist that only the double-N version is correct. However, its prominent presence on the coin clearly implies a production date for your piece of somewhere in the late 1990s, when all things millennial were fashionable.

However, "pluribus" has definitely been mis-spelled. In no versions of that word is it spelled "plurieus". Those are two separate Latin words; I believe "e plurieus unum" is a rather mangled way of saying "from more than one" - which may be a coded message from the item's manufacturer about the source of the silver.
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

Due to the color and small size, I have doubts that this piece is actually made from silver. Perhaps a game token or the like?

I'm not seeing it on the usual spots (numista or tokencatalog).

That is not a 950 fineness mark; it is part of "1950", the "1" being very weak.
