<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3134837, member: 78298&quot;]Harshly cleaned. Since it is the exact size and weight as a regular penny, almost all foreign planchets are going to be a different size and weight of a US cent, the mint does that on purpose so other countries coins can&#039;t be used as ours.&nbsp; Most Panama and Bahamas coins are the same as ours, as our money is 1:1 with theirs and their coins and our coins are interchangeable in vending machines, parking meters, tolls, etc.</p><p>Incredibly rare to find something on a foreign planchet.</p><p>Is there a new You Tube video making the rounds?</p><p>As all of the 1982-D small date copper threads&nbsp; have now switched to, &quot;Is my coin on a foreign planchet?&quot;</p><p>If the coin was a different size and weight, without full cent rims, (a larger blank would not fit so a foreign planchet would have to be smaller, thus creating incomplete cent rims) then you have to find out what country&#039;s coins we were minting at that time, and the size and composition of it.</p><p>The short answer is, no. It&#039;s not on a foreign planchet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
