America is addicted to plastic - Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and debit cards. Now plastic is even showing up in coin rolls and bags.

Plastic coins are used for play money, in education, and to train bank tellers and store clerks. Sometimes they get into the wild and circulate as money. Plastic pennies sell for more then copper pennies(about 5 cents when bought in bulk), plus they melt easier

This thread continues the plastic coin tracking from here: http://realcent.forumco.com/topic~TOPIC_ID~8737.asp

Wow Canadian plastic pennies. Seems like they would cost more to make than steel. Based on the shape and queen's head that is an older plastic penny too.

Found my first plastic penny of the year...came out of a String box.
