I just ran into this info. If you collect Canadian "Twoonies, and/or other types of coins, this will help you stay safe:

Interesting...I was just showing that site to a person who apparently found an off-metal twoonie strike.
And yes--a collector could protect themselves by understanding how the coin was struck, ie core and outer ring at the same time.

Right, Kurt, and better yet, have something to look at, to compare, and see what to look for.
