jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 07/15/2025 08:48 am I told you Zincolns were cursed. 'Tin pest' makes more sense to me. Tin just doesn't want to be locked down in a shape like that. I get it. But why would any metal want to grow hair? https://xkcd.com/3115 Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

But why would any metal want to grow hair? The British had real problems with this in their kettles, and had to begin making them of copper. It was literally a "tin pest" in a teapot.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 9:55 pm Hondo, I was just reading today about John Wilkinson "Iron Master" In 1761, the Royal Navy clad the hull of the frigate HMS Alarm with copper sheet to reduce the growth of marine biofouling and prevent attack by the Teredo shipworm. His Wiki page has info on this under his "copper interests" a really interesting historical figure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_...dustrialist) Sorry not very humorous, now back to our regularly scheduled laugh factory...
