    If you score each side it will break easier. I would cut and break it into 6 inch squares that will be easier to handle. My experience calls for the use of a vice to squeeze the plastic into expansion to release to coins. Be careful.
    It is going to be a lot of work, regardless of how its done.

    What would happen if you burn it?

    Living where I do (cold north), I'd leave it outside in the single digit weather for a day or so, then use a hammer. Do it outside where the shards can be cleaned up or don't matter. Just an option.

    What's this. Looks kinda like an AA token.

    If it's wood light it up. And when you're done throw the coins into a bottle of coca cola

    It is in fact an AA coin. Hopefully whoever owned this is still sober.

    Well, this case has proven more sturdy than I anticipated. After scoring the front, stacking 20x bricks on them, and then jumping up and down, not even a bend in the wood. Edit, the image doesn’t show it, but there’s about a 30 degree incline there.

    Looks frustrating, also looks like the coins were glued to the plywood.

    If it weren’t for the AA coin in the center, I likely would have left it.
