foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/08/2008 12:43 am The process was called spooning. We go through that hoop every once in awhile when a " Dryer Coin" shows up in a post. Noone spoons nickels. If they did, the end product wouldn't fit on a human finger. The metal is also much too hard to fool with. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

Here is a link for a pictorial demo on how to create a ring from a half dollar http://www.geocities.com/ringzingbl...coinring.htm Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/08/2008 10:28 pm Hey Thanks! Kinda thought the dryer theory was probably correct but it did make me remember "spooning" I'll probably lose a few nickels in the dryer before I go through the trouble of making a ring but that is an interesting link. much appreciated.
