[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 708960, member: 4350"]Hi, This ended up creating more questions than answers:-) All the coins related to Britain that are 20 Pence are all 5.00 g and are copper nickel. 20 pence coins of Great Britain, Jersey, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Mann, and the Falkland Islands presented possibilities if the composition were the same as the error. The Date ranges on some would rule some out though. There is a 1 pula coin from Botswana dated 1991 that would be about the right size and is composed of nickel-brass....BUT.... I can't find the weight of that coin (1 pula) and I can't find a reason for a planchet from 1991 being struck in 1995 for Iceland. My thoughts thus far would be to find a 1991 1 pula of Botswana and weigh it. It would also be helpful to know for sure what the composition of the error coin is. Lets see where we go from here. I can't draw any solid conclusions from the known facts. Bill[/QUOTE]
