Some of them drop out while others seem to want me to use the hammer on them! Usually, pushing the coin out while wearing cotton gloves works but you&#039;ve gotta oush from the reverse. That black plastic insert has a beveled hole so that the coins could easily drop in from the obverse side. Trying to force them through that hole in the wrong direction will be disastrous!</p><p><br /></p><p>If you cannot push the coin out from the back, gently bend that insert until the coin drops out (onto a soft surface!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
