<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 8407230, member: 5372&quot;]That is quite an imagination, when I can simply order blanks in any size, finish, weight that I want on Amazon from a fabricator-coin blanks, jewelry, cut outs, souvenirs, etc. The garbage collectors would end up having AHNOLD bulging muscles, from every enterprising American (you know who you are!!!) planning a mass coin/vending machine ripoff. Sometimes illogical logic is illogical, and most times a duck is....well....a duck.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a planchet. Developed to deceive? Possibly. Fabricated for coinage? Probable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stop thinking U.S. coinage. Stop thinking U.S. manufacturing only. I know of 5 Asian coins that have the same weight and measurement.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know of 7 &quot;slugs&quot; that are Asian and Islamic that are the tolerances and finishes that the OP stated. I know of 2 British &quot;slugs&quot; that are a hairs breath from the OP measurements and finishes.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few ideas for consideration and research:</p><p>Spinks</p><p>Album Rare Coins.</p><p>Numista. BTW, Numista had a blank token that I wanted to purchase/exchange -&nbsp; 6.37G 21MM, and 2MM thick, smooth edge, blank without rim obverse and reverse, that could be the twin in appearance to the OP piece, N#120472 that is owned by Santiago Canaveras, in Spain. So.....Spain....(not part of the U.S.). Hmmmmm.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the garbage thing, if I wanted, I would not go thru all the trouble and effort to make ripoff slugs, when all I would have to do is order what I want from Umburry, NJ.-cheap, very cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
