[QUOTE="Kurisu, post: 7617551, member: 117063"]Unfortunately the plastic doesn't expand as you'd expect... I would say the two best methods are to use pliers to slowly break pieces off and get them out as you break the tube apart. Scoring the tube (carefully!) lengthwise with a razor blade type cutter will create weakness for breaking it apart. Or to squeeze the middle of the tube hard with your hands or big pliers while rotating it and when you get the right angle they slowly start to fall out. Freezing risks condensation and altering the surface of the coins as does boiling them especially if you get them literally in the hot water.[/QUOTE]
