Pittsburgh Steel Coin/token - Forged from “Pittsburgh” steel that gets stronger as it corrodes

I’m from about 20 miles south of Pittsburgh. One of my old neighbors posted about this Pittsburgh Steel Coin on Facebook. I bought 2 just for fun and because I liked their video that’s on the page they sell the coins at https://www.compressmerch.com/collections/frontpage/products/pittsburgh-steel-coin . I’m thinking of carrying one as a pocket piece and watching it corrode. Their video claims they are made from that special grade of steel they made the US Steel building
out of. I remember hearing about that steel since I was a kid and seeing that rusty building.
