    Looks like a 1939 with a new reverse!

    Great find!! That looks thinner than a dime planchet.

    Way cool. image

    ...and it's worth some bucks. Does it appear to be copper?

    What's that on, a natural cellulose planchet?

    I waited to see what other responses would be. Umm, it's play money. I thought it was obvious.

    You are such a cut-up, MrSpud. That was clever.

    I should have known from the date!!! ...not to mention the tabs left from where it was pre-cut from the paper.

    These were actually issued for use in teaching children how to use coins. It is merely a picture rather than stamped.

    I've even got this one in my collection. image

    image It got me too. When I saw it on the coinstar I thought it was a real lincoln cent. I stood there looking at it and didn't know what it was until I picked it up and even then I was puzzled for a minute as I looked it over. I must of looked pretty strange standing there image
