Place the known coin (in this case the legit 36) on one end of the stick.&nbsp; Place the other coin on the other end.&nbsp; If the coins are the same weight the stick balances on the pencil.&nbsp; If it doesn&#039;t balance, which ever is heavier will sink.&nbsp; How quickly it sinks give you an idea of how much heavier (or lighter) the unknown coin is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
