I can bite my quarter in two!

Earlier today, while playing with the profuse amount of change in my pocket, I felt a rather strangely shaped coin. I pulled it out to see what appeared to be a crescent-shaped sliver of a quarter with two “humps” along the inside edge.

I then proceeded to remove the rest of the change from my pocket and eventually found the other half of the quarter. Attached to the other half was a small rubber band.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that the copper ring that is usually circumscribed about the quarter’s rim was missing, leaving a groove around the coin. I then tried putting the pieces together and they fit perfectly.

Furthermore, the rubber band was exactly the right size to fit in the groove and hold the two pieces together. The cut in the coin was too clean to be accidental, though, so I knew something was up. After a little bit of investigation, it appears as if I have this coin.
