Maybe one of our fellow Indian coin collectors can help me with this question... I recently purchased a coin lot at auction (very cheap) and...
Yeah, then you just have worry about the smell... lol.
It would be really nice to get one before the Chinese start copying them... lol.
But Spock, it was made by a legitimite govenment mint and has monetary value... by definition, doesn't that make it a coin?
Ahem... that is NOT a Canadian 5 cent piece. At least not at the time it was made. :) <--- *Points to his Location.* All of...

I hope he wasn't operating out of the back of a van in Chinatown! lol
