[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 8386018, member: 114169"]I'm a bit late in opening my envelope, but am intrigued by this installments puzzle. Being an Electronics Engineer by trade (I graduated when tubes were still "a thing") I know well what an inductor is and what it is capable of. As a matter of fact, the examples of shrunken coins below were created using a self destructive inductor. [CENTER] [ATTACH=full]1488216[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1488217[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1488218[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] But the inscription on the QuarterMaster coin? Hmmm, I'm drawing a blank . . . I know that it is a TM product of Staples, the office supply warehouse. I also know that no staples were used in the affixing of the quarter to the envelope that contained it. Only tape . . . . lots of tape . . . . . I need a magnifying glass to see the images in his letter a bit better. I am guessing there are clues in the photos. Hmmmm, Virginia . . . . coils . . . . staples . . . . what does it all mean . . . . ??? [B][I]"No coins were scratched in the mailing of this quarter . . . . . "[/I][/B] Z[/QUOTE]
