I found this article, and thought of you guys. What a list of materials they tested for the '43 cents... aluminum, manganese, lead, bakelite, glass.

I've found several plastic pennies in my coin sorting. They say Play Money.

I found one once that did not have play money on it. Dated like 1983 looked like a real cent, but plastic. I asked my wife how is this not coutnterfitting?

Nice web site. I've seen it before but never paid to much attention to it but now will read some of the articles.
I could see why so many failed. Plastic coins would be way to easy to make by anyone. Also, they would melt, break, disolve, etc. I was surprized at the mention of Brass and/or Bronze since those are basically Copper and that is what they were attempting to NOT use.
Some of the kid type places, Chuck-E-Cheese and others, tried plastic coins for their places but stopped when kids took them home and tried them in vending machines.
