<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mac McDonald, post: 7944277, member: 117420&quot;]Yes...damage (break/sacrifice) the <u>tube</u>...not the coins.&nbsp; Seriously, sometimes just tapping/banging it on a hard surface a few times will loosen some or all, and you can pour them out.&nbsp; If enough come out you can take pliers and crack/break the rest of the tube...use a clean cloth for the coins to come out on.&nbsp; Have heard of freezing them to constrict and loosen, but never tried...figured that may hurt the coins worse, but don&#039;t know.&nbsp; Nothing is without risk so you may scratch one or two, but probably not.&nbsp; As a last resort, with the lid off and tube turned upside-down (opening on the bottom) you can try thrusting it straight downward on a clean cutting board or old table, and see how many come out when you lift the tube...maybe try a few times this way...and keep your hand around the tube, maybe with a clean glove or a clean towel.&nbsp; If some/all are left and didn&#039;t come out, crack the tube on the edge of a counter, sort of like an egg, being careful to hold something directly underneath the tube in case it splits and spills the coins. I&#039;ve done it both ways...no harm to coins.&nbsp; On the tubes I&#039;ve used (not many, and for this reason), only the last coin or two at the bottom gets stuck...usually banging/thrusting the tube gets them loose...but sometimes breaks the tube.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
