<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1125655, member: 22729&quot;]Welcome to the forum coinwriter. This is probably a bit different than what you&#039;re looking for, but years back large copper coins were used for washers, and sometimes cut to replace broken gears in machinery. No Home Depots in those days. I actually have an old English Half Penny with a tapered hole drilled in the center that was probably used as a washer or bushing. Surprisingly, it also has a nice counterstamp on it that&#039;s undamaged by the hole. The counterstamp may be the company&#039;s initials and so was placed near the edge of the coin so it was protected from the drill.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
