<p>[QUOTE=&quot;caters, post: 2046858, member: 73163&quot;]Is forming metal coins (specifically ones with copper, nickel, and zinc) possible with these steps:</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li>Carve a wood mold</li> <li>melt sodium chloride</li> <li>pour sodium chloride into the wood mold</li> <li>form a clay mold from the sodium chloride cast</li> <li>scale it down using a machine</li> <li>make a clay base</li> <li>make the rim on both sides of the clay mold</li> <li>fire the clay<br /> </li> <li>melt a mixture of copper, nickel, and zinc</li> <li>pour the metal alloy into the clay mold</li> <li>once metal is cooled gently get it out of the clay mold so you can use it again</li> <li>heat but don&#039;t melt the metal</li> <li>cool the metal<br /> </li> <li>clean the metal</li> <li>dry the metal</li> </ol><p><br /></p><p>One of my big concerns of this process is that a copper, nickel, zinc mixture might melt the clay as soon as the metal is poured in but at the same time I don&#039;t want to use a metal that you can bend with the pressure from your hand like you can with aluminum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
