The polygon object is in the same class of objects as the disc. It is 
completely flat so the scale in y of 2 in your code is a scale of an 
object with thickness 0.0.

You can instead use a prism :

prism {
     linear_spline
     linear_sweep
     0.0, 0.05, 21,
     <17.9250,28.5750>
     <-17.9250,28.5750>
     <-18.9250,27.5750>
     <-18.9250,18.9250>
     <-27.5750,18.9250>
     <-28.5750,17.9250>
     <-28.5750,-17.9250>
     <-27.5750,-18.9250>
     <-18.9250,-18.9250>
     <-18.9250,-27.5750>
     <-17.9250,-28.5750>
     <17.9250,-28.5750>
     <18.9250,-27.5750>
     <18.9250,-18.9250>
     <27.5750,-18.9250>
     <28.5750,-17.9250>
     <28.5750,17.9250>
     <27.5750,18.9250>
     <18.9250,18.9250>
     <18.9250,27.5750>
     <17.9250,28.5750>
     pigment { color Red }
     translate <0.0,-0.025,0.0>
     rotate <90.0,0,0>
}
