Message:: [QUOTE="paddyman98, post: 2465456, member: 44615"]It's Dryer not Drier This is an explanation from another forum.. makes sense quote - "a common mistake I see concerning these coins is that people think the coins tumble around inside the tub where the clothes are. Since the clothes would cushion the battering of the coins rim, and certainly a person would not repeatedly, accidentally put the same coin back into the dryer hundreds of times to accomplish a battered rim, this does not make sense. So what really happens?Commercial machines had an inner (clothes) tub, and an outer tub that surrounded the inner.Coins would slip out of clothing being put into the machine and fall into the skinny opening (at the "mouth" of the machine") between the two tubs and be tumbled through many cycles.On a front-loading machine, after awhile the coin's thickness could increase enough such that the coin would be rolling on its edge between the two tubs rather than continually being carried upward and dropping back down." closed quote I hope it's ok to link to another forum -I want to share this webpage with you <a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=143863" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=143863" rel="nofollow">http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=143863</a> Not my picture or diagram -[ATTACH=full]517604[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
