If I chose the right picture, this is a penny from the World's Fair in Chicago in 1933. My parents picked up 2 of these at the Fair. These were pennies that were rolled under a lot of pressure to show the image of "Chicago World's Fair" a clear image of a building, identified as "Federal Building". The opposite side is blank except for outlines of a few words from the penny.
I believe it is illegal to destroy U.S. money like this. Oh, well. My father would have been 27 at the time & mother 22.
Now, category. How about "China" ? Bottles ? Staff will change it anyway ! LOL !
Plus free instructions on how to break down a Glock 17 magazine.
Pretty neat! They are called elongated coin and were legal.

That's pretty cool BB2!
Neat, they have a machine that makes these at Ye Old Curiosity Shop in Seattle. No the same image though. I had collected a few in my childhood.
WOW ! This crowd sure is easy to please ! The thought of people collecting these never even crossed my mind. I appreciate it that so many people appreciated this. I'm not taking into consideration "sympathy votes". LOL !!
Haha, sympathy for CW devil, Bb2 :-D
They have machines in most tourist areas in the US that smashes the pennies and puts a stamp on it for the area. I have lots of them...somewhere. Must be legal. :)
OGF, your gov't is so broke, that they probably want you to destroy it so they can make more worthless "counterfeits" ! LOL !!
