Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must be contained in a secure locker located in Site-45 that is large enough to contain the 156 manifestations of itself that have already been contained by the Foundation. Additional lockers will be supplied if the first locker reaches full capacity. Any new instance of SCP-XXXX should be quickly contained before it’s anomalous properties can manifest.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a heavily corroded British bronze coin with a diameter of 2.9cm and a value of 1 penny, when in international waters. In this form, SCP-XXXX has not been legal tender since 15 February 1971. SCP-XXXX'S anomalous properties manifest when taken into a country that uses metal coins as currency, where will change to appear identical to whatever currency is currently legal tender in that location. When SCP-XXXX is used to make a purchase of any object, that object will immediately malfunction when bought back to any place of residence. The effect is always the same regardless of how many coins used in the transaction were SCP-XXXX instances. These malfunctions range from greatly reduced battery life in the case of electrical appliances to uncontrollable wildfires if the purchased object was toaster, barbeque or radiator.
Addendum: SCP-XXXX was first discovered when ████ ████████ used it to buy a table and a television. When the television was placed on the table it immediately collapsed, and the television would not turn on. A Mobile Task Force in the area overheard his calls to an electrician and carpenter to fix the affected items and impersonated both to successfully secure the first instance of SCP-XXXX.
Testing Logs
The tests were conducted by building a shop window in Site-45, which contained the items that the researchers had been authorized to test by the Site Manager at a price of one SCP-XXXX. The items were then transported to the living quarters to trigger the anomalous effect.
Test 1 13/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for a book. When the book was placed in the Site-45 living quarters all the pages were blank except for a single image of SCP-XXXX on the last page.
Test 2 13/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for a computer. The battery life of the computer went from 5 hours to 8 minutes, and 31% of the files on it were corrupted at random.
Test 3 13/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for an oak tree, which is now dead as a result.
Test 4 13/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for Subject D-7259. Subject developed a countless number of phobias and mental conditions.
Test 5 14/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for a banana. It started to decompose 48 seconds after purchase.
Test 6 14/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for a filing cabinet. Anything put in this cabinet has a chance to go missing, including but not limited to 25 files, 4 pens, a stack of papers, some bills, half a banana, two(2) instances of SCP-XXXX and one(1) instance of SCP-████-B.
Test 7 15/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for some duct tape. Attempts to remove the tape from the researchers who conducted the test have proved unsuccessful.
Test 8 15/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for a pair of scissors. After being used to cut 3 metal cubes cleanly in half the scissors cut multiple chunks off itself until it was no longer operable.
Test 9 17/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for SCP-2061 It’s anomalous effects now have a chance to not trigger upon viewing.
Test 10 18/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for SCP-682, temporarily preventing it from regenerating lost tissue. Attempts to neutralize SCP-682 during this time were unsuccessful.
Test 11 19/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was used as an input for SCP-914 (setting: Fine). The machine’s output was 5 different instances of SCP-XXXX, which were all wet and polished.
Test 12 19/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for SCP-914. TEST DENIED BY ORDER OF SITE MANAGER.
Test 13 23/5/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for SCP-55. [DATA EXPUNGED].
Test 14 2/6/2020: SCP-XXXX was exchanged for SCP-████ Once they were located in the broom closet along with 3 pens, 21 files and 10% of a banana, they were put back in the containment cell with 4 casualties caused by SCP-████-A. One researcher was almost killed by SCP-████-B but was saved by the symptoms of claustrophobia suddenly affecting both instances of SCP-████. The missing 4 files were found in the digestive system of SCP-████-B.
