My kids found this in the coin machine at the store.

besides the abundance of brazilian currency that gets mixed in the coinstar machine, they also found several 1940's coins of many different varieties in the past.
I guess I should sell the metal detector and try this method for awhile:)

This thing pictured says copy on it, but still don't know what it is or means...


Ok, just by luck found out it's a remake of a old greek coin....
Just saw it on ebay
 

Even if it is a copy, still a very interesting find.

When I was stationed in Greece you could buy them in the shops at all of the tourist areas. They sold copies of everything from pottery to coins and relics, all were tagged or marked copy.
