Bi-metallic 2 Dollar 1996 Off-centre from Canada...by Frans Woons,
Canada
Today I received in the mail
another Bi-metallic off-centre toonie I had bought on eBay. This
coin shows a large, moon-shaped, gap between ring and plug. I
estimate the width of the gap (at its widest point) to be about 1.3 mm.
Attached you will find images of this coin: obverse, reverse, and a
“see through” image.

7. WBCC Super Quiz #14...by Jack Hepler, USA Kings have been rulers of nations down through the ages.
Sometimes Kings were benevolent, sometimes despots. Kings remain
