<p>[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 3314082, member: 73266"]I know that is the popular term for these types of details on a coin but in all reality, no one will allow a coin to tumble in a dryer that long. People are funny in the things they do for fun, even if it's just watching a coin roll. When I was a kid, I would ride on the fender of my grandpa's tractor while he pulled a train of loaded cotton trailers to the gin. When we got there we sometimes had to wait in line, just to pull onto the lot.</p><p>Once while I was waiting, I got to take a tour of the machine shop that served the gin and the oil press. They pressed the cotton seed to harvest the oil, what most vegetable oil is made of. Anyway, all of the shop tools still ran off of a belt and pulley system from the turn of the century. Really cool, even today. But the one thing that I remember the most, was any and every pulley in that shop that had a flat spot on it, there was a coin rolling around in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
