I was packing the last of my daughters stuff up and found some coins on her floor. I started counting them and it was $.28. I don't know why I inspected them closer and realized one of the penny's was plastic. It was the same size and color as the rest.

Would you notice if a bank or a store gave you a plastic penny with the rest of your change or do you think it being a penny you wouldn't even notice?

I think I'd notice. I often notice Canadian pennies, which aren't all that much different than ours, or a penny that's either extremely new and shiny or so heavily circulated that it's brown. So a plastic one, yes, I think I'd spot that. But then if it was a really good likeness of a real one, maybe not! Usually play money is deliberately larger than real money, I think so it can't be confused with it. It's kind of strange that there's some made that's exactly the same size as the real thing.

This one is just a tiny bit bigger then the actual penny and maybe a pencil tip thicker. Compared to a shiny brand new penny it would stick out like a sore thumb, but when put with older dirty penny's the coloring is the same.

Oh, yeah, I think I would notice. It's possible that some other kid gave her that from a game set. But, I would have definitely said something about it if a clerk at a store or bank gave me that. I mean, a penny's a penny and it all counts. You said you picked up 28 cents and that might just be enough, if you combine with with some other cash, to pay for a soda or something. I use my pennies all the time.

I am sure it was play money she got from a kid at school or found on the ground. I seriously doubt it was from an actual store or anything. To keep her busy one day I told her that all the money she found on the ground we would put into a container and then when we had 20k saved up we would use it to buy a house. So she picks up anything that looks like money to go into the house buying fund.

I think I wont notice it because I just put money in my pocket. I dont even count my change. I dont think banks will give you plastic coins. I think store may do that.


myLot reputation of 96/100. meggan79 (441)   ranked 20 out of 136 in saving money  4 weeks ago

Thanks for your response. Yes, I would think it is less likely to get a plastic penny from a bank then from a store.

I actually just found a plastic penny in my purse - I dont know where I got it or how long ago. But someone gave it to me as change! When I noticed I got right online to see if there was some kind of know scheme or something going on! Makes you stop and think!

Personally, I have never heard of a plasic penny. Are these ever considered real money? If it was me, I would be interested in taking it to my local bank and having this looked into a little more. But at the same token, unless I was putting pennies in a pile to be rolled up, I would probably never notice that something was a little different with them anyways.

They make plastic penny's as an educational tool for children. I just think that they have gotten more realistic then they were in the past.

I would notice strait away because it feels different if you could somhow pass the coin in amongst other coins of the same donomonation then maybe but they will probably still notice and think it is kinda weird think you are trying to sneak a penny off in. i would try notes if i was going to do it. Atleast you can make them feel and look right. Most of the check out people wouldn't check for verification marks and you could say you didn't know.

Thanks for your response. (Just for the record, not trying to pass off any fake money as real...just noticed that a coin I had looked a bit on the real side).

I would notice a penny. It would be lighter than the other money and it would not make the same sound when hitting the other coins.
