Found a 50 Korun coin in the washing machine. Is the peeling normal?

  1. Take it to a bank, they should change it for a new one.

  2. It’s just your 50 Kc coin sheds the old skin so it could grow bigger. It happens every few years or so.

  3. At first I thought it was a fake coin. But it appears the 50 Kč coin is supposed to be made this way with a plate of metal on top of the core (look here: [https://www.cnb.cz/en/banknotes-and-coins/coins/50-czk/](https://www.cnb.cz/en/banknotes-and-coins/coins/50-czk/)) So yeah, just take it to the bank to get a new one as others said.

    Btw, did your clothes survive the washing cycle?? I have never seen such a damaged coin in my entire life 😀

  7. It’s just leaving its pupa. Give it some time and you’ll soon have a 100 Kč coin. It’s called investing.

  9. Czech republic has so much debt that they have to save their money somehow…

  10. Go to a bank and they replace it with a new one.

  11. I work at Czech Mint and that’s how currency coins are made. Common metal on the inside, plating on the outside. Completely normal.

  12. something probably got under the outer plate and it curved because of lower temperature tolerance? just a guess

  13. its called molting. crabs undergo a similar process
