[QUOTE="DiabolicalBox, post: 1135480, member: 29900"]:D Hello All! I have several coins, American and Non-American alike, that have holes in them. The holes are uniform, no more than one hole in each coin, and they do not look like they were punched thru with a machine. It almost looks as if the holes were drilled into them (with something), but the edges of the holes are smooth, not jagged like they would be if a drill was used. Does anyone have any information about holey money? I have no clue what might have done this - maybe an uneven cast? I know that in ancient China and Japan that money was punched (or cast with holes in the design) so that it could be strung together on a cord to prevent loss or theft, but I'm not sure that anything of that sort was customary in the U.S. [ATTACH]116186.vB[/ATTACH] Unlike this picture, all of the holes are not as large, nor are they centered. This is just [B]like[/B] one of about 12 coins that I have that have holes. Any Thoughts? Thank You!![/QUOTE]
