<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WaA140, post: 58620, member: 2663&quot;]There are different wayts to tell.&nbsp; The most scientific way is to weigh them but the less scientific way is to drop them on a table and listen to the ring.&nbsp; You&#039;ll get more of a &#039;tink&#039; sound from a zinc coin but the copper (really bronze) coin will have a nice ring.&nbsp; Sometimes I have a hard time hearing the ring over the clatter of the coin bouncing on the surface of the table so I&#039;ll flip it in the air, just like you would think of when flipping a coin, and a bronze coin will ring from my thumb nail hitting the coin where a zinc coin will not ring.</p><p><br /></p><p>I should add that if I felt a coin could have value I would not use the non-scientific tests.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
