    It's a U.S. Mint token. They come in certain mint sets. I'll try to find a link for you...

    Edit:

    here is one link from CoinQuest

    here is another from a current eBay auction where you can see it in the original cellophane.

    To add to what Doug posted they're struck on cent planchets so they will pass through bank coin sorters and coin star.

    Yup, mint token. I managed to find a "D" and a "P" in the same box. I was pretty happy. Didn't want to have one without the other :)

    Quick ebay search shows that a few single tokens have sold for $0.99. So yeah not really. You know you can always get $0.01 for it :)
