aeromedic New Member Australia 40 Posts	Posted 05/27/2024 7:56 pm Interesting theory about Dryer Coins, but the Australian penny is much bigger in diameter than the American penny, nickel, dime or quarter. So a Dryer Coin is improbable. Having said that, getting stuck for a long period of time in some kind of mechanical device is certainly possible. I was hoping that someone would have seen this kind of "shape change" on an Australian penny and how it happened. In the meantime, I'll keep exploring. Report this Post to the Staff

Here's a Philippines 50 Centavos from my grandfather's dry cleaner shop. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
