Howdy Pard! You got yerself what's called a "Texas Penny/Cent." A post mint happenin'.

Put a penny 'tween two pieces of cowhide and wail on it to make it come out Texas sized!

Hey J, Daniel has a video on the crazy stuff people do to coins, also there is a video on youtube of a guy polishing an Australian coin, when he is done, the metal looks like a telescope mirror, oh yeah he does it all by hand, talk about having too much time on your hands.

It all falls into the category of understanding the Texas mindset. I am not a Texan, but have been good friends with many over the years. They are very proud of being the Lone Star State. They are the only state that, when joining the Union, would not join without being allowed to have a clause saying they could secede at any time if they wanted to (actually some movement towards this since the "Great Theft of 2020").
As they say, "Everything is BIGGER in Texas." Pennies had to adapted to be a true Texas penny!

But...But...Mule, I actually don't KNOW YOU in real life!  😧

Pssst...John James - I got the wool pulled over the Mule's eyes 😂😂😂

Hey Daniel - making a Texas cent might be a cool video for your channel?! Over the years I have seen these crop up on forums every once in awhile.

How about a video of a Texas half dollar in the video also? I don't know if clad would work though?
