igwt79 Pillar of the Community United States 1497 Posts	Posted Yesterday 06:17 am Tons of posts about " Dryer Coins" or "intentionally damaged", or "PMD, doesn't matter how it happened". So I give you a "Washer Coin" a.k.a PMD by washing machine. pic of the inside of my washing machine: Pic of the coin catcher or coin trap groove from which I pull these coins out: Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34476 Posts	Posted Yesterday 07:51 am Seems like this style of Dryer Coin doesn't have the exaggerated rims, so a slightly different mechanism of damage, but we see plenty of these posted too.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26191 Posts	Posted Yesterday 09:55 am Great work, igwt79! We see many coins with this same pattern of PMD here on the CCF, and I've seen more than my share IRL. Thanks to your detective work, we now know the cause!

Different size coins wear down and display different types of damage (smaller coins like dimes appear more like Dryer Coins). Additionally, length of time spent in washing machine groove prior to extraction produces different wear patterns. I can post more examples for reference as I find them. Thanks all.
