Comment
People living in and doing paid work for the Damanhur community get paid in Crediti. The value of 1 Credito equals 1 Euro. The coins are used within the community as money, one can pay with either Euros or Crediti in all the shops and restaurants.The coin on the pictures comes out of a coin machine in the hallway leading to the Damanhur supermarket that changes 50 Euro banknotes to five 10 Crediti coins.
Probably the material is copper-nickel (which is magnetic). The webpage www.taedivm.org/damanhur1.html lists both the 10 crediti and the 20 crediti cores as made of nickel-silver. This source may not be reliable though, as the 10 crediti coins are non-magnetic, while the 20 crediti cores are magnetic (personal observation).
