Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained within a matchbox in the item containment unit in Site 45. If flipped for any reason, please record how the coin landed.
If a(n) XXXX-A event occured, consider the object contained.
If a(n) XXXX-B event occured, note the time, location, and instances changed in the Flip Log.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a US nickel made in 1984. This coin, when flipped, will land on heads or tails. Rolling, throwing, or flipping the coin between one side or another will also create the effects listed below. Approximately 3% 18% 37% 85% of nickels currently in circulation are copies of SCP- XXXX.

This effects detailed below occur only once the coin is viewed by somebody by any means. This includes through video and photographic means. It is also impossible to tell which side of the coin landed face up without visual evidence. Even if the coin is flipped slowly, the face appearing upwards will always be random. Also, the feel of the coin will be entirely smooth with no identifying textures until viewed, at which point it will regain texture.

When flipped to land on heads, a(n) XXXX-A event will occur. This event consists of an imaginary number increasing by one. All instances of SCP-XXXX will increase the number by one until it is reset by an XXXX-B event. Thankfully, nothing else happens as far as we can tell.

When it lands on tails, a(n) XXXX-B event occurs. For every consecutive time the coin had come up heads before a tails was flipped, a separate XXXX-B event will occur. During an XXXX-B event, a random US nickel anywhere in the world will gain the properties of SCP-XXXX for a number of days equal to the number of SCP-XXXX duplicates.

When SCP-XXXX is flipped and it lands on its side, an XXXX-C event occurs. In this instance, any instances of SCP-XXXX copies are returned to being normal nickels, and the counter is reset.

Hold on, doesn't this make no sense? If the nickel makes other nickels into SCPs, and then transforms them back, what's the point? Is the nickel even magical?
