Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 02/09/2011 11:08 pm I would assume it's been swimming in acid. The acid has attacked the copper core more than the cupronickel cladding. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

The reeding is still present because the acid acts in an even manner- the dimensions will slowly shrink but the details will be retained instead of dissolving away. Report this Post to the Staff
