You should get an album for those cents and start collecting them. I have a review
I made url]http://realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=27289&hilit=+Review[/url] If you ever get down to the United States you can buy Canadian pennies and nickels from coin shops for less than face.

I hope you’re not losing interest in coins because I sure enjoyed your post!

I think someone made it by doing this trick. See. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.wikihow.com/Make-Fake-Gold-from-Nickels%3famp=1

It’s chrome plated steel. See http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/about-the-mint/5-cents-5300006

Also have a blank 1 cent planchet. It has a rim but nothing else. Comments? The US mint gives out blanks on the tour of the mint. See-- http://www.realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1876&p=16304&hilit=school+mint#p16304 http://www.realcent.org/download/file.php?id=111
