It's "real," but it isn't a Mint-manufactured coin. This is a magician's coin made from two legal-tender coins after they were issued for circulation.
No. It's manufactured for magicians.

Eleven Cents. This is another version of the magician's coin made by milling two real coins and gluing them together. It sinks to the lowest common denominator: the penny! These magician's coins generally sell for a few dollars apiece -- as a novelty item.

Is a coin with the back half of a penny and the back half of a dime smushed together real?
Depends on the condition of the coin. Is it in normal condition? Was it run over or something? Sometimes the mint makes errors where they use the wrong metal and stamp out a different coin. In "Price Guide to Mint Errors" by:Alan Herbert, I haven't seen any that you have described. Sorry to pop your bubble, but if it's half copper on one side and half silver or nickel on the other, you have a novelty item made by the same methods that are used to create those "rare, valuable" (NOT!!!!!) double-headed magician's coins that turn up in change all the time.

The United States Mint lists the following specs: weight: 2.500 grams diameter: 19.05 mm thickness: 1.55mm In the real world, there are minor variations, due to sloppy manufacturing and wear. On one side of a penny, the edge might measure 1.27mm, the other side of the same coin, 1.54mm. Differences are easily visible.

If it is a real Canadian dime, and only stamped on one side, it is an ERROR COIN, errors come in many shapes and sizes, but a full unstamp on one side is really in error, go show it to someone at a stamp and coins store. however don't sell it there, ask what they will give you for it, to get an idea of what its worth, usually double what they offer
