BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4591 Posts	Posted 09/01/2025 08:32 am Unstruck planchet (type 2), was used as filler in mint sets in years when they had five coins and six compartments (before they started using the mint tokens). Also given out as souvenirs on tours. And can be purchased in the gift shops. Sometimes they even escape being struck and are found in circulation.
