Fake 2006 D Lincoln cent

I found this while CRH. It weighs the same as a normal zinc penny, feels real, doesn't stick to a magnet and was accepted by the coin machine at the bank. I did a Google search for it and only found one post about the same exact penny on a different website. If this was money that came with a kids game, wouldn't it be marked?

Not going to get rich counterfeiting Lincoln cents.
Very weird.
And you're holding it incorrectly.
“Was accepted by the coin machine at the bank”
Did you already dump these back at the bank?
No, they gave me coins that came off their coin machine. That's how they get all their coins
I'm only holding it this way because it's a fake penny lol
Counterfeit coins also have value.
Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you
Now the Chinese are faking modern circulating coinage - it has to be cheaper to mint with slave labour.
Could be an off metal, missing layer, etcc... not my niche

unfortunately, not now, since, forever.
ya, the judge will give you a lot for them w/o the word copy and if you ship/move em across state lines, you'll even get an extra 5 to 10 !
I would call it a "Hobo Cent". A work of "Art." Still worth more than 1 cent to some. Nice find!
Clearly a fake just by the image alone... Have not seen one of those before. Cheers, RickO

for sure, i'd pay 5x face to have an example.
Looks like a fake.
