[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2044224, member: 71234"]This is off the top of my head , but the post war Netherlands 10 cent which I think was minted in England initially was very popular for coin bracelets, I have seen dozens of them, always with real mashed coins, not replicas. It may well have been that in immediate post war Holland, the people could make a modest profit taking fresh shiny coins and turning them into items to sell to the British and US troops thronging the country with money to spend or black market goods to provide.. The Netherlands coins of this period seem to have been very attractive to 'craftsmen' because they made them into all sorts of stuff and is suspect that your bracelet was made rather later, to copy the originals. I don't know what the metal is but pewter would be a reasonable guess.[/QUOTE]
