[QUOTE="Ian, post: 72812, member: 283"]If you can't scan the item, then you can at least describe what is on either side of it as well as: What type of metal is it? silver / copper/ brass/ aluminium? What size is it? (compared with everyday coins you deal with) eg. is it dime sized or half dollar sized...larger / smaller? Is the edge smooth or milled / any writing on it? All these things help us to help you find out what it is you've got. For what it is worth, no country I know of has deliberately struck a coin like that..excepting France, and even then it was made for the collector market (an issue commemorating the last Franc) as opposed to circulation. However you do get machine tokens made like that (for telephones / fruit machines etcetera). I suspect it is either a machine token or a coin that someone has been fooling around with.
