A toonie is bi-metallic. First year coins sometimes lost their grip and the centers popped out.

Yes, I know a toonie is bi-metallic. What I didn't know was that the centers could be easily removed.

the 5 Peso looks like a good fit.

Offer it to the doofus hollywooder who was paying the big bucks for several Scakie/Washingtons a few years back. Or just sell to derek, I'm certain he'll find it worth at least three grand. Demand cash payment!

brendanlam

Only in the 1996 issue. 60 million pre-assembled pieces came from Germany to begin the production run.

A drop from even a moderate height was sometimes enough to seperate ring and plug.

when I was about 10 years old, I tooled off the 4th leg of a 1937-D Buffalo Nickel.....I wish I could find it

another time (again around the same age), I sanded down one side of a penny until it was worn fully....i then
took another penny and vise gripped it together to create an incused impression on the sanded down side.

I was way ahead of my time...

I would consider this criminal, havent I been that young.....

Suffice to say, I havent done anything like that since ( 28 years later )

Maybe you can sell it to Derek for big bucks. You won't even have to convince him that it is real.

Yes, and I had to hammer them a few times afterward because they looked too real.
