[QUOTE="speters33w, post: 1066715, member: 28541"]I was dumping my junk change into the change-o-matic gizmo at my bank (which doesn't charge a surcharge if I have an account with them) and it kept rejecting a 2006D Colorado State Quarter. I found it attracts magnets (or magnets attract it). I imagine this is how the gizmo tries to keep Canadian coins out of its bowels. It looks genuine to me. It weighs 5 grams on the spot, it is definately clad copper and I'd guess it in XF condition. What am I looking at? A counterfeit? A quarter erroniously struck from a steel clad blank? A blank supplier that provided the mint steel instead of nickel from time to time? Could this be worth more than $0.25 as a curiosity? I guess it could give a new meaning to the "In God We Rust" filled die strike-through error I've heard about...[/QUOTE]
