<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lon Chaney, post: 1133773, member: 29844&quot;]I&#039;m surprised nobody has posted on the history of coin rings.&nbsp; I had no idea you could do them out of clad.&nbsp; The traditional method is to get a silver spoon and a silver coin and hammer it on the edges until it becomes ring-like, then drill out the center.&nbsp; They were commonly made in prisons and jails, pre-1965, with pocket change (quarters or halves).&nbsp; I can understand why, banging a spoon on a coin seems to be a better way to spend your time than staring at the wall.&nbsp; And the sizes per coin vary, depending on how long you tap it.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t know that anybody was making them out of anything other than silver.&nbsp; What&#039;s the process, other than a homemade spoon tapping method?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
