Hi:
My daughter cashed some pennies in to night and found this in the reject slot. I have no idea where/what it is - maybe mexico?
Anyone help.

1847 Colombia 1/2 Decimo De Real.

i think this might be rare.

i'm thinking it was probably someone else's reject because i don't see how you guys could have missed this. is it the size of a penny?

it says: Republica De La Nueva Granada

Very nice find Heidi!
I am quite impressed that it does not have a hole in the top of it like so many do.
