What do you do with p & d tablets?

I'm sure at one time or another lots of us have opened uncirculated coin sets for many reasons. My question is what
do you do with the cent size P & D tablets that help identify the coins on the plastic sheets? I don't even know what to call them.
They weigh 2.5 grams so I assume they are 95% zinc and 5% copper.

I keep them in my collection or sell them. I usually keep them.

 

no yhere the reverse almost pure copper..

 

they can be used as buttons or cuflinks..
make great tiepins..

 

I have a bunch of them, I like the proof ones and the P and D tokens, but the plastic tablets just bug me. I leave them in their mint packaging and have all of mine stuffed in a little box.

 

They're actually copper plated zinc, they strike them on cent planchets.

 

Interesting.

 

That's what I thought too Phdunay. Do you think they'd fool a coin machine when returning cents? I don't think I'd take a
chance. For the several I have I think I'll keep. But what are they called?

 

I call them "mint set tokens"

 

Land fill out in the trash.

 

That's the best I've heard yet!

 

You could at least sell them on eBay LindeDad.

And thank you zekeguzz!

 

I would bet the coinstar machines would accept them.

I'm not saying you should do it, just that they would probably take them. (Right weight, right composition)

 

Doesn't ANACS grade them?






(joking)

 

You'd need a ton o' them to make it pay on the Coin Star machine.......

 

Yes if you were doing just the P and D medalets. But it would be a way to get rid of extras you just have laying around. Throw them in with a bunch of other change and put it on an Amazon gift card.

 

"Medalets" that fits the ticket. Thanks Conder.

I find running auctions that total less than $3.50 are not worth the time, fees, and postage. Been there done that.
