carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 06/25/2010 11:13 am I found these south of Nashville. The lady proudly proclaimed that they were play money for children. I've seen a number of fractional coins and tokens but none with the denomination presented as 1/2. The denomination was always vertically presented as 1 over 2 with a horizontal divisor. They weigh 0.8g, are 3.5cm in diameter, and approximately 0.8mm thick. Are these real? Report this Post to the Staff

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 06/25/2010 11:24 am My calculations give a density of about 1/4 that a true gold coin would have. Also, The bear was not in the design of Cali fractional gold coins, so they are in my opinion, play money. Report this Post to the Staff
