<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1359739, member: 66"]In my opinion, no they aren't. They are NCLT, Non-circulating legal tender. A coin is a non-paper item, usually made of metal, issued by a legal authority intended to circulate as money. The Hockey pucks fulfill every part of that except they are not intended to circulate as money. Yes you CAN spend them, but they are not intended to be spent. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As a general rule yes. The definition of a 70 used to be, years ago when this system was adopted, that there be no defects visible under a five power glass. Whether that holds anymore I don't know. I leave mass hysteria to others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
