Dead easy to make a very effective make a black coin.
Just turn up the element on your electric stove to maximum, and rest a freshly minted nickel on it. It WILL turn black.
As soon as that happens, pick it up with tongs, and drop it into cold water. Do NOT use your fingers, or they will be severely burned.
I just put them back into circulation after that.
Lotsa fun.
It confuses most people including checkout chicks, who sometimes refuse them for payment, although they are still entirely genuine!
