Got this in change at the bank today. I have seen this before,

but cannot remember what causes it.

Thanks

    This looks to me like the damage caused by a coin wrapping machine. You often see it on the coins at the end of a roll.

    the rolls coins in paper wrappers.



    Damaged - not an error.....sorry
