[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3470542, member: 77814"]They do it to this day for commercial reasons. You'll also find millions of coins the result of high school chemistry experiments. if you go here .. you can find gold and other plated coins to your heart delight, or dismay [url]https://www.merrickmint.com/24k-gold-plated-coins.html[/url] you'll find many, many companies that plate US Coins and resell them. Then after the novelty wears off sooner or later some end up getting used as money, at face value. Then get circulated around and end up on a board like this where people think they found a rare gold plated US MINT coin. They've gotten fancier over the years. Nowadays you can find gold plated quarters with Holograms on them. I'm waiting for one of those to show up here as some "rare" Mint error.[/QUOTE]
