That's the way I found it. It was mixed in with a bag of old nickels and I thought it was a dime at first. It does feel a little lighter than normal.
I also got mixed up about its magnetism. It is NOT magnetic. There were a bunch of other steel pennies mixed in with the collection. I tried sticking it to a magnet again before taking the picture of the back of the coin and it didn't stick. That could also point to an aluminum composition. I don't think aluminum is magnetic.
