Got a 1964 Rhodesia 6d/5c coin today in place of a penny. I think it is partially silver as well. It has a dual-denomination displayed, both 6D (sixpence) and 5c (5 cents). Kinda cool. This is what it looks like, but not the actual coin I found (mine is in better shape, too).

cool coin!

From worldcoingallery.com it is silver ASW = 0.0419
 

I thought it had that silver shine to it. Silver in pennies...can't complain! Plus from what I can tell it isn't a country anymore and was only a country for a few years.

Isn't it now Zimbabwe? That's actually easier to say than Rhodesia ::). That's a better find than most of what you'll get in a roll of pennies.
