Is a coin with penny on one side and dime on other a misprint or a fake?

It is more than likely a "Magicians coin" which can be picked up for a few bucks. They are usually hollowed out coins, with another coin put inside. If it is a true mint error (extremely doubtful) it's called a "mule" and would be worth a small fortune. If you can snap some good photos, you could post them at http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/ (free) and get some good opinions. Given the fact its 2 different size coins as opposed to a two-headed or tailed coin it is probably hollowed out. You can see how its done here... http://varietynickels.com/articles/twotailed.htm

It's a novelty coin, manufactured for the close-up magic crowd. You can purchase them from novelty shops and there is no special value. If you look closely at the dime side you should notice a small line where a dime was inserted into a hollowed out penny. Post a picture somewhere I want to see...

Two coins equals 11 cents but one is not a penny?
There is only one combination of two coins that will equal 11 cents. That would be one dime and one penny. Since the question limits us by stating that one coin is not a penny, then clearly the OTHER coin *must* be a penny.
How rare is a 1920 mercury dime with a one cent obverse?
first of all i dont know second, i want to ask this question: How would you know it is a 1920 mercury dime if the obverse was a penny? It sounds like you have a magician's coin made by cutting apart both a dime and a penny, and hollowing out one side of the penny so the dime side snaps into the penny side. It's interesting but has no value to a coin collector.
