Enyaw Valued Member Canada 458 Posts	Posted 11/30/2024 1:32 pm I purchased a couple bags of circulated Canadian pennies from my bank yesterday and there was this odd 1966 one cent American coin in there too. It has "In God We Trust" cut in half, the L in Liberty is missing and the I has a different font close to the rim. The top of the United States of America is cut off too. It weighs 3.02g and is thicker and slightly smaller than a regular 1966. I'm thinking it must be a foreign planchet, but any thoughts/information would be appreciated. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
