[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3087120, member: 77814"]Sure, take any harder metal item such as a single cut hand file, and simple roll it on a hard surface. Pushing the nickle down, while pushing the file to roll the nickel against the file. Did you acquire a bunch of coins from a singular person lately? Maybe that person was trying to figure out how to make money look like a higher denomination. Such as trying to make a nickel look like a quarter, or a penny a dime. Think of the money they could "save". If they went to a vending machine and an item was $1.50, and they used 6 nickels instead of 6 quarters they'd "save" $1.20. or 15 pennies instead of 15 dimes they would save $1.35 per transaction. That can really add up quickly. The USMint receives tons of damaged coins back annually. One category is listed as "Genuine coins altered to pass as another denomination" which are not redeemable.[/QUOTE]
