I can't remember if I've asked this before but, has anyone ever seen a Reader's Digest coin change hands for real money? Other than in the usual mixed lot wherein I suspect most people find them.

I do that all the time!  >:D
I have some more new pieces somewhere.............. but I'm not entirely convinced they were RD as advertised.  :-[

Another batch of ten RD tokens received today in a job lot of tokens, but I was extremely lucky as one of the is a gold ingot   :o  but that same old number 1-06311 !  ;D 28X13mm

Also two other items we haven't seen before on this thread a nickel plated steel 02664 30.8mm and an aluminium 04254 31mm.

Also included in that previous job lot was a lovely almost mint example of the £12.97 thank you token that we don't yet have displayed here.

They are all obvious replicas but I don't see any indication of where they originated. Its quite possible that they are a set put out by RD.

I do think I have seen the one with Arabic legends before.  ???

Gave them a look over. Those I could identify (am far from my library) are all Spanish or connected to Spain, so I doubt the series is RD.

Here is a latest acquisition, an Austrian coin replica liberally coated with RD glue where presumably it was adhered to a promotional letter.  :P  2.3g even with the glue!

Great mop of RD-glue :) See reply #70 for the no-date variant.

I should also mention all these that I have looked at today have a steel or iron core under the various colours of plating and stick to a magnet so no doubt all of these replicas are magnetic.
