"It causes the quarter to be squished magnetically" - now that's a sophisticated scientific explanation! So, what kind of evil sorcery is at work here?

Alluded to in link to a previous thread but you'd have to dig for this link - http://teslamania.delete.org/frames...gallery.html I'd guess it was done with a not quite so dramatic amount of joules.

The reduction in size, the slightly concave edge, and the subtly warped surfaces indicate that this was an encased, or "lucky token" cent. It was once surrounded by an aluminum ring bearing an advertisement or other message.

But, by conservation of mass, they get much thicker.

I've seen examples of acid bath where things seem to shrink proportionally.
