<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 158459, member: 68"]The '68 to '98 sets can't usually be opened cleanly as Conder101 said but there is a small percentage that can and those busting them in quantities could make use of this. There is evidence that's left behind though so you could spot these if they ever became popular (I've never seen one). Where the plastic was sealed it will turn white when opened. It's possible this white could be polished out. The '68 set is particularly tough to open but dates like 1972 are often a breeze. </p><p><br /></p><p>Proof coins are legal tender and can circulate but rarely for long.
