    Exactly how hard and far should all non-silver coins be slung and into what exactly?

    Should the silver coins be roughed up a bit? A lot?

    Would slinging them into a Home Depot chipper be appropriate to see how many it takes to jam up a cheap chipper?

    Thanks for any suggestions, it would appear I have been doing it all wrong.

    Also, should I try kicking puppies, drowning kittens or getting married so I can beat my wife while CRH'ing too?

    Have you thought about collecting beanie babies so that you can bite their heads off?

    Please tell me that beanie babies have guts and the hunt will begin! Did they make bat or dove beanie babies?

    I heard that once they season at least 50 years, they burn very well.

    ~15-20 years is all the seasoning you need for proper burning, imo

    You could always soak them in a bucket of chum for a few hours.

    Well I suppose those pallets full of Babe Ruth, Sandy Koufax, Ty Cobb rookie and MVP cards will have to be inserted into a time machine before I can have another party fire.

    Sadness accrues.

    Do you think it is possible that cards can actually become too old to burn well and proper?

    I want you to ponder your own brilliance and consider the marketing possibilities. Please take the idea to the Shark Tank TV show and cut me in on 5% please.

    Phenomenal!

    I've got a better idea! You can have 100% of the deal because I really want to see you bite the head off one of those chum-soaked beanie babies.

    I'm thinking doing that while actually swimming the Shark Tank densely populated with starving piranhas would be good wholesome entertainment. I'm still working on an angle to incorporate those pesky non-silver half dollars. Flipping them up in the air and piercing them with my browning 22 auto before jumping in tank is a clunky connect at best.

    Melt them on your garage floor with an acetylene torch

    GREAT IDEA! I tried that already and all it did was turn them and everything sooty black. What's that other tank for beside the acetylene?

    Will the black sooty patina make them more valuable? What if I clean them?

    Baseball cards were meant to be put in the spokes of your bicycle. Makes a pretty cool noise.(Wonder how many rare ones I ruined?)

    I was raised with more home training than to do that. Everyone knows that is hard on the clothes pin or duct tape you had to use.

    remove the patina with a grinder and release the coins back into the wild so we can all enjoy the "what is this error" threads when they are found again
