Bendigo swap- copper vs steel
Thanks Keith,
Yes hard to find any with out extra holes after 70 years. These even have two less!
Thought the young-uns might be interested to see a steel penny from 1943 in my collection. Got it as a kid in the 60's just in circulation. Not many were around even then so you always snaffled them up.
Copper was needed more for brass production for the billions of rounds required to win the war.
Cheers,
