Ok, I have many coins that look REAL but they are minature (different sizes but much smaller than 'real' coins). They look exactly the same as large coins, even has the same writing and years and 'god we trust', AND they are made from the same metals that 'real' coins are made from. So is there ANYWAY....ANYWAY at all that these could be real and worth money? If so, please give additional info where to sell them at or somethng. Thanks again

I suggest you check on eBay and see if the ones you have are the same as those offered. They may worth some money.
Also check on Heritage Auction Galleries for some more information. Better if you can contact them for advice.

They are copies of coins and not the real thing. They are usually billed as the smallest U.S. coins. Theses days to protect themselves they use the word copies. The mint has gone after some companies that kind of stretch the truth or down right lie. Most sets sell for $4.95 or so and are not a collectors item. They are however a great conversation piece and kind of prove the coins of today can't buy what they used to so they shrunk. The mint and the BEP don't mind people making exact replicas as long as they are real small or real big and nowhere near the right size. It is when they use the mint name or BEP name they get into trouble. There are an interesting part of Americana.
