Hey JB:

There are two possibilities. As you note it is possible for the paper coin to have been taken out of one color shell and inserted in another. This is what most people think.

However you can see proof below in the unopened package that they did issue some coins in "wrong" color shells. I have some of the Salada company records having to do with the coin promotion and at one point they had quality control issues with some color shells mostly the black ones so they did issue coins in different color shells.

Hope this answers your question.
