They did spell "currency" wrong, but if I am not mistaken I believe there is a genuine variation of this that spells it "curency"

It's not genuine. Don't send it to PCGS. Save your money.

I think it might be one of those ones made of pewter as a souvenir. I have one at home that I bought when I was touring Philadelphia probably 20 years ago. I remember buying it in the gift shop.
