✅ SOLVED Found in a park in Manchester, UK

[zaxxon]

Hi all,
I found this about an inch below the surface in a park in Manchester, UK, back in July. I think it might be some kind of souvineer from New York? I have no idea how old it is but its in quite good condition, and found a long way from NY!
Cheers

Indeed, a NY souvenir, and made out of a US penny... Geez, and they say a penny doesn't go far these days.

agreed, its a stretched Penny.

Thankyou all,
I still find it odd that it could be in a park, in the UK! I suppose its like finding one of these pressed pennies in Central park, NY, with Blackpool Tower on it!

Cheers everyone, much appreciated
