<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 8330154, member: 102653&quot;]This coin is unfortunately a modern fantasy. These etched metal balls are typically called Borneo bullet coins. They were made in the second half of the 1900&#039;s by a family operation in Java. These fooled early collectors and authors; Mitchiner included them as a Borneo steel currency in his earlier works. Later they were exposed as a modern fantasy. Joe Cribbs writes about these and the group that made them in his book Magic Coins which I unfortunately do not have. They are somewhat collectable in their own right, but are not nearly as old as led to believe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
