<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 1256797, member: 29239"]some folks calls these spooned coins and others calls them dryer coins. when a person has a lot of idle time on their hands like say a prisoner they tap the coins millions of times with a spoon or other object and this rounds of the edges of the coins and making them smaller in diameter. the same effect can be created by the coin being in a clothes dryer spinning for a long time. either way they are not worth much over face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
