In an interesting bag for me I found this:
What is it? Non-magnetic and weighs 1.2 grams.
On an interesting side note: The bag also contained a '99 Jamacian dollar coin, an '02 20 Bolivares from Venezuela, and a '61 Roosevelt. Pretty cool bag.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

It is a reproduction of the "Widow's Mite" - the little copper coin in the Bible that a widow donated to the temple and Jesus said that it was better than a rich man's donation because it was all she had. They were made by King Herod during roughly the time of Jesus' life. Authentic ones are not especially rare, but many Churches buy reproductions to give away at Bible school or what have you. Obviously if yours was real it would have a little more toning and surface scratches after 2000 years ;)
