:o you must be rid of it soon. I ran onto a handful of these. What you cannot see is the rfid chip the federal government has inserted into the damaged area. Part of a program they've developed for locating paranoid hoarders. Quickly place the specimen into an envelope and send it to me. I will destroy it for you. Hopefully it hasn't set still long enough for the gps to kick in.

thanks for all the wonderfully colorfull answers! i get it, its nothing special, just a mercury pimple. i do know that it is not an attempt at a hole. the inside of the circle is no deeper than the surrounding area of the date at all. oh well, 2 mercs in 1 roll still made my day.

The motto on the coin is not complete. It should read "In God We Trust; All Others, Cash"

Great book by Jean Shepherd!

Perhaps any microbial life on it evolved a bit and got into a mini nuclear war.
