100 Mills


The expression '100 mills' (or 100 mils) is often used by fraudstsers, conartists, crooks, ebay vendors, and other dodgy would-be salesmen, to refer to gold-plated imitation and replica coins, bars, medallions, and other garbage, to the greedy, naive and stupid. It is best to avoid buying any of this crap, and the conmen who peddle it. The description of these items often makes them sound official, good, real, or desirable in some other way; sometimes the truth is presented in small print, or in an oblique way, possibly as some kind of legal defence in case the vendor is challenged or accused.

Clad, HGE, H.G.E., filled, and layered are other similarly misleading terms we frequently see used to describe base metal junk.

Millimetres?

Perhaps you are meant to think that 100 mills means 100 millimetres (millimeters), but this is one thing it definitely does not mean. One millimetre is 0.03937 inches, so 100 millimetres would be over 3.9 inches thick. This would in theory apply to both sides of the coin, which would obviously need to be at least 7.8 inches thick. It would actually be much thicker than this to allow for the base metal core. We have never seen a coin 8 inches thick, and never expect to.
