Naturally, I clicked through this listing, just in case it was (say) 100 readable-date Buffaloes or War nickels or something: Nickels 100 1 (BIN $14.22) No; it's 100 play-money PLASTIC nickels (that "feature serrated edges"). I give up. Why would you buy (inaccurate) play-money nickels for more than 5 cents each? "Have I got a deal for you! I'll sell you 100 real nickels for just $10.00*! I'll even give quantity discounts!" * not an offer to sell, calm down, mods...
I long ago became convinced that a rather large percentage of consumers have more money than sense. This considered, it'll be interesting to see if they sell. Sadly, if someone does pony up, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. After all basic math, as well as acknowledging the obvious, is no longer necessary for one to navigate through life.
I guess you could make the argument that play money is less likely to wander off with kids than real money. If the play money lasts three times as long as real money, this might make sense. Might.
Speaking of which, I could see the attraction to those mimicking cents as opposed to nickels. Kids, particularly little ones, sometimes do rather strange things with coins, so those made mostly of zinc should be particularly concerning to the caring parent.
