Coins get trapped and spun over and over, eventually flattening the rims. At some point they're found and put back into circulation. Report this Post to the Staff

Wider edge. The devices closer to the rim. (pressing the edge widens the rim and eventually the rim edge is on the devices on the outside edge of the coin) Edited by coop 07/15/2016 12:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
