No not rare.  It is, of course, a novelty type fake.

Just one of many miniature coins in different denominations on the market today.

There is also a way to reduce the size of a real coin - but I forget the details.

Also, the "novelty type fake" is a counterfeit - size does not matter. "Novelty" does not matter. What is said on the piece matters.

Tried to reduce a stray cat to a kitten in the microwave -- only partial success.

Roger do you think that is similar to induction heating processes used in foundry or other industrial works ?

No. The process described uses a magnetic field - heat is only a byproduct. Running the coin near your neighborhood black hole might work, too.....?

But that might also create elongation.
