I was going to say -- another one? By the way, the link I provided appears to be the one from which "goldinvestinginc.com" stole the story,...
Man, imagine that -- getting over on Big Gas by sticking them with a one-ounce silver slug instead of a genuine dollar (0.78 ounces of silver)....
Thing is, that's almost guaranteed to leave scratches (or outright gouges) on every cent it touches.
I related the sad story of the penny jug to my wife, and she immediately suggested this, without having even seen your post. She's really good at...

What, you want longer posts from me? ;)
Yep. I've got a few square inches of platinum foil that I expect to use someday for electrodes, but making it into a little tray is also tempting....
That would depend a lot on how the metal had been treated. If it was annealed "dead soft", the bell would just go "thunk", and then you'd have a...
