<p>[QUOTE="Greg Sebring, post: 336879, member: 12186"]They are not permanently stuck down. I used a special tape with tiny rubber-like dots to hold them in place. They can all be peeled off easily if I ever want to change it. I got the tape at my local "Hobby Lobby". I have a small box of assorted bills and coins. In fact, here are two items that will make the foreign coin collectors cringe,.... the engraved ring was made from melted down English silver coins. Dad had a German jeweler in Berlin make it for him while on occupation duty. Inside the band is engraved "Berlin 1945". The single band dad said was a popular hobby the soldiers did to pass time. They took an English two shilling coin and thumped the edge against something hard constantly rotating it. When the edge rolled over to their liking, the middle was drilled out. You can still read "two shillings" and the date inside. The bracelet was made of English silver coins (dated around turn of the century) and bought for Dad's girl who later turned out to be my mother).</p><p><br /></p><p>Greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
