1962 South African Cent!


This coin is large, but not in charge. It's quite a few times bigger than a U.S. cent which isn't surprising because the U.S. cent was actually worth more than the metal and production costs back in the day. Now, due to inflation, poor spending, and other things, the U.S. cent is worth less than production cost. The South African cent is no longer made because it is worth so little. In fact, it takes about 10 South African cents to make one U.S. Cent. This coin is worth about 1 South African Rand (as of 7/5/13).
