But that damage occurs because the coin gets stuck between the dryer drum and drum frame resulting in continuous wear from the drum rubbing against the coin as the drum turns. A coin stuck in a dryer is only going to get thinner where the continuous wear occurs, never thicker. </p><p><br /></p><p>A coin is only going to get thicker around the edges as a result of continuous or repeated pressure being applied to the edges. And that can&#039;t happen in a dryer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
