Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10492 Posts	Posted 02/18/2026 12:22 am If a parking lot find there should be some damage that would show the zinc core. And not a lamination error because the zinc core was copper plated. Weight is a bit light but in tolerance so could be acid treated. Or can always fall back on that good old " Dryer Coin" theory.
