Plastic Toy Cents

[henrysmedford]

Is any one finding toy cents. Franklin has found five this year all in shotgun rolls!

I've found 2 this year....there is a tracking thread for these. Seems like lots of members are finding them.

Actually they are from the Treasury - they are prototypes of the coming pennies once our currency is further debased. Must have slipped out accidently.

It would be fun to have the last prototype 1974 aluminum.

I usually get them in shotgun rolls too.. but imagine my surprise when I got one in a Brinks roll. I knew they set those machines kinda loose, but...

I got a plastic dime in a roll this year.

This is a HOOT! The plastic play coin money at the local SuperWally is all dutifully stamped COPY. Shoulda bought some...go back tommorow.

I always used to get mad when i found them. How dare they screw me out of a penny..lol. Then I'd throw them in my "cool finds" box and all was good. I have to remember how many dimes I'd find in those shotgun rolls too!

I liked the comment about the treasury accidentally releasing those prototypes. Actually the way the govt is going plastic may be too expensive as the next material..lol.

anybody ever try to collect a complete date/mintmark set of them? Do they change the date each year? In my part of pittsburgh PA they are more rare than a wild indian!!!!!!!!!!

I think im at 3 or 4 indians and 0 on the plastic. They are mighty rare for me, but I never get CWR for cents

Franklin is at four IH and five plastic cents for the year and they were not out of CWR rolls

Only plastic I've found was a quarter.

Picked up a plastic one last week. Made me think treasury was really debasing the money.
