Flattened coins

[IronSpike]

On a quick hunt this morning found my 2nd flattened coin/token (on right). The 1st was found a few months back at same location (former RR track between parking lots of two office properties).

The challenge now is to figure out coinage

Probably Memorial pennies

Happy Memorial Day weekend

If the coin weighs 2.8 grams, you can be fairly sure it's a modern US penny.

Thanks for the tip Mackaydon That would save me some time i.s.o. keep looking for recognizable markings on the coins

And people tell me that RR track coins "can't" be round. I've made quite a few in my day, and when they get hit once vertically and again horizontally they are indeed round as the especially nice 1926 penny in this picture shows.

Great example of a round RR track coin Never thought of that or seen one before.
