<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 2942274, member: 31533&quot;]They are fantasy coins. They offer a unique opportunity to own a created coin that looks like a real one, but has a feature that is not found in real coins, i.e. a &#039;minting year&#039; that the coins they were based on were never minted. And they are minted on formerly minted real coins. In this case, it is a &#039;2009&#039; Lincoln cent, and probably minted on pre-1982 cents. In many ways this type of thing is similar in action to elongated cents, only these are the same shape as a real cent and look new. He is not minting new money, but recycling old coinage and some others appreciate it. There is no counterfeiting going on.</p><p><br /></p><p>They can be considered numismatically related, so they fit in here as gifts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
