1 copper colored plastic penny. Was in a CWR along with a 5 Euro and a PGA Tour token.
I buy bags as much as possible. Found flattened pennies, nickels, dimes, and today a quarter in bags off of machines.
I think that some of the fun is finding weird stuff. Once found a quarter in a roll of halves. (Fed Box)
I enjoy reading other people finds...I laugh when I find mine.

| What do you mean by "plastic penny?" I mean, it's kind of self-explanatory, but I picture the small "gold" colored ones that come in packs of children's play money. Is this what you're all referring to? Some one "accidentally" put a fake plastic coin in a roll? Or are we talking mint error coins? THAT would be weird... |
As far as I know, it is stated "In God We Trust" on the US dollar. How can I trust this currency if I do not believe in God?
Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
When I give my two cents, they're always copper! |

| I found about 3 or 4 this year. One was really wierd, stamped 1984 but did not say play or replica or anything. Looked like a perfect plastic penny. |

I should find out where hoard lives and dump a couple thousand into his penny stream. Of course he might retaliate by dumping a few tons of zinc in mine.  |

So your boy dumped all his plastic money into circulation - that explains this thread LOL.
If you look up a few posts you can see where I posted a link to a site selling them for 3.49 cents each.
HCBTT might have it right we could collect plastic by date and mint marks. |

I looked at the plastic penny I found a while back.....It is a double die.
I looked it up in the "underground" Redbook ...Plastic Mint Edition.
It is worth 9 cents in BU, Mine looks to be a G4...value = -.01 |

| I found one the other day. A 2003 one too. The CWRs it came from were all missing one cent each too. After the eighth roll having 49 cents in it, I thought, geez, how could they justify a plastic penny too? Are people hard up for money that they would shortchange a bank a penny per roll? I guess that is an automatic 2% yield on your money. Maybe they figure they could do something like that and nobody would notice? |

| LOL, on the double die comment eariler. I found a plastic one last year. I like finding the odd ball stuff in the mix. It is neat to find stamped coins as well and the various world coins. I really like the starfish penny from the Bahamas. |
