<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 15438, member: 487"]Based on the shape of the hole, and the extra metal, definately a nail. The reason the extra metal is flattened after being pushed through. As to why people put holes in coins, the reasons are limitless. Some of the better explanations are for jewelry, but others are simply because it is possible. A kid with nothing better to do. </p><p>As to how, that is easy, take the coin, tape it to a 2X4 and smack it hard with a hammer. The nail pierces the coin, and the wood keeps the coin from bending.
