Keep in mind that most modern trick coins are not joined at the rim, but on one of the faces, where one coin is shaved to fit into the reverse of another coin.

I's just a curio and quite a common one at that. Stick it on e-bay and see what you get for it. However, don't go on about rarity, mint error or anything like that as most people would hopefully see through it...
