Being a strange guy, strange stuff finds me. Found this in my change years ago. It looks like someone peeled a penny, and wrapped it around something dime size. Had thoughts of peeling it a little to see what's underneath.
It was a Cent that was caught in a clothes dryer. The spin and heat damaged it over a long time. I have seen many.
This happens when the coin gets stuck between the inner and outer drum. It does NOT occur inside the drum with your clothes.
And it typically happens in industrial machines (larger and in more constant use) not in your typical home model. Even then it takes awhile.
Wow. Now thats one worn out coin. Hope to hear what cointalk has to say about this one. Lamination and age i think
Can't say either way, I'm no longer a shepherd. They were originally used to herd cattle. They would nip at their legs to herd them. Because of their closeness to the ground, corgis had easy access to the cows’ ankles and were difficult targets of the retaliatory kicks of cattle. The original ankle-biters!
