Actually I got one of those from circulation several years back, from the Philadelphia mint.  Talk about a cheap way of creating a mint medal, just using a cent blank. :o

Yes.  Those little copper medals come packed in each of the Uncirculated mint sets.  One says P, one says D, to identify the mint where the set was minted.

They can often be found in a coin store's token bin, since most store owners practice the method of breaking up mint sets to sell the individual coins.  (Which is sad, as the individual coins are usually worth more separately than sold as the set.  The US Mint isn't doing something right, here.)

Do add this coin to my collection?

I would say the mint know's exactly what they are doing lol but i will keep paying that 28-29 bucks for 13.92 in change. but only for the one reason that they are better quality coins than you can get from the bank. i also buy an extra set of both mint and proof just to break open for my books. and my books look great
