Most of the time you would have to hold it at an angle making sure to eliminate the rim....I will tell you one time I was out and about by myself and I had to make a phone call....Way back in the 60&#039;s&nbsp; there were phone booths all over the place and you had to insert change into the phone to make a call. Local calls were a dime...I went in my pocket, looked at my change, found a cent and pulled it out...It had not been filed down yet...But next to the phone booth was a concrete curb...So I sat down on the curb and started sanding my cent...I don&#039;t remember how long it took to sand it so the phone would accept it, or how many times I tried placing it into the phone to see if it was acceptable, but I did win! And the phone&nbsp; call was made...Costing me a penny! (That&#039;s what we called a cent back then)<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I told my friends what I did and they all thought I was kidding.I told them to go to the phone booth I used and check out the scratches I put into the concrete curb....<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
