If there are no control numbers, these could be duplicated in almost any small machine shop.

The payout requires a redemption code stamped on the back of the pennies from what I read. Hopefully they were careful with the control numbers

How would they know what the redemption code on the back of the penny is?

 

 

I'll be looking for one, I think it's a cool idea.

Once there are three known codes, it is possible to crack the sequence, unless it is unusually long....No code was visible in the photo.

Big question is:

 

Does the shield imagery on the reverse (which resembles the devices of the modern "shield cent") require marking in accordance with the HPA?

[RWB]

Absent the inscription "United States of America" and a legal tender mark of value such as "One Cent," it appears to be just a private token. The diameter is also greater than 0.75-inch. Many fantasy "coins" follow a similar approach and lack the two legal tender inscriptions; some say "One Conception" or "Two Dingles," or something similar.

It does say 100,000 cents

Is the "code" on the obverse east direction? Looks like it.
