Not well versed on British coinage. What was the planchet supposed to be?

Yes, Steve. I acquired the coin back around 2008-2009, a while ago now. The coin weighed 5.6g which is close to that of a 5P planchet at 5.65g. The diameter was 24mm-25mm. I have seen other 2P coins on the net where they were minted on foreign planchets, maybe South African, but well centered. I remember seeing another well centered one at VP coins a few years back when they still had a shop front. 

Were you able to work out what coin the planchet was for, by weight and diameter?

Not sure if I posted this before. A 2p on cupro nickel planchet.

The boogie board reference made me laugh.

Those Indian rules are so harsh, so like they expect you to arrive in the country penniless or buy your rupees in India?

Boogie boarding aluminium coins into Indonesia - hilarious, forget about the Bali Nine, we could have a news report "Indonesians sentence Australian to death for smuggling contraband" - Not cocaine, Heroin or Shabu (Meth), but about $3.50 worth of alumimium 100 rupiah coins"

Maybe I was mis-informed about Russia and Indonesia but

India
• Returning Residents: Allowed up to ₹25,000 total in Indian notes and coins.
• Non-Residents / Foreigners: Import of Indian currency (including coins) is strictly not allowed.

Maybe I can get into Indonesia with a boogie-board bag full of aluminium coins but I'd have to make multiple trips!!!

But apparently if you are "caught" trying to get into any country with bulk coins you trigger a criminal investigation for money laundering - after all what other reason would you have so many coins for.

Guess I'll just use the 300kg or so of worthless world coins I've got to gravel my driveway...

I know Greece had rules that said it was illegal to take drachmas out of the country but I don't know if that still holds.

Fixed.  Some settings didn't carry over correctly from the MyBB conversion, we're fixing them as they're found.

Very nice Tane. I think I need more silver.
