<p>[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 3145234, member: 41219"]Quick question - how does the size compare to a dime? The rough edge you mention (but I can't make out in your picture) leads me to believe that someone shaved it down. I've seen cents shaved to dime size to try and pass for dimes in older coin operated machines. Also could just be someone with too much time on their hands. </p><p>You can always check the coins that the mint produced for other countries during that time.
