<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nightowl, post: 756379, member: 18614&quot;]I would guess that somebody was going to make a folding coin out of it. The coin is first grooved, as your example is, then&nbsp; jeweler&#039;s saw is used to cut the coin in 3 pieces, typically along the edges of the device. Then a small rubber band (such as those from orthodontal braces) is used to hold all 3 pieces together. The coin flexes and can be put into a bottle as a gimmick. I&#039;ve seen folding quarters, but never a half dollar. Maybe whoever was doing it....tried one and it didn&#039;t do well, so they opted out of finishing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a video...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1061672/diy_folding_quarter/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1061672/diy_folding_quarter/" rel="nofollow">http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1061672/diy_folding_quarter/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Nightowl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
