Regardless of the denomination of the coin, it's not a genuine mint issued coin.

Can a continental currency coin say copy on the side of the coin?

No, a genuine Continental currency coin would not have the word "copy" on it. If a coin has "copy" marked on it, it is likely a replica or counterfeit coin. Authentic Continental currency coins were issued during the American Revolution and did not include such markings.

What does a coin mean when its stamped copy?

If it has the word COPY in small letters, it's called a replica coin. Many private companies make replicas that are sold as collectibles and keepsakes. They often represent coins for which the genuine article is too expensive for the average person to own. By law all replica coins must have the word COPY on them. "Replicas" of expensive coins without the word COPY on them have another name - counterfeits.


What is a 1943 steel penny that has copy written on the back of it and is smaller than regular pennies?

The word COPY means exactly what it says. Your "penny" is a copy made privately as a novelty piece and is not a regular mint issue. The word COPY is mandated by law for any piece that is meant to resemble a legitimate coin. Its presence is a flag to the collector that they have an artificial item, but it is legitimately made as such. All reputable manufacturers include the word COPY so they won't be charged with counterfeiting. Of course any counterfeiter would never put that mark on a piece they were trying to pass off as genuine, so it's still necessary to have "finds" authenticated. Precisely what it says - it's a copy, no doubt made for some kind of giveaway or sample set. As such it would not have any numismatic value. The good news is that whoever or whatever company made your coin followed the law by including the word COPY, so that there is no chance of misrepresentation as a genuine coin. It's exactly what it says - a copy made as part of a novelty or keepsake set. It's not a genuine coin.

Unum e pluribus 1787 nova?

You should first examine the coin to see if it has the word "COPY" on it. There have been many replicas of Continental coins struck over the years. Some were for novelty collectors' sets and others are outright counterfeits (which, of course, would NOT have the word "COPY"!) Given that, it's not likely the coin is genuine. If you want to make absolutely certain, it would have to be examined in person by someone who deals in early U.S. coins.
