<p>[QUOTE=&quot;osullic, post: 24647536, member: 25945&quot;]Hi</p><p>I wanted to get some coin advice...but not in relation to collecting. I want to buy a coin to use as a screwdriver!</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, without getting into too much unnecessary details, I have a screw that I am having trouble unscrewing due to difficulty finding a screwdriver to fit. I thought a 10 mm slotted (flat-head) screwdriver would work, but they all seem to be too thick for the slot. Any thin-tipped screwdriver I have is not broad enough to reach both sides of the slot in question. See the attached image to understand what I mean.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]1568946[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>So I am looking for a cheap coin I could buy that might replace the screwdriver. It needs to be less than 1mm thick, and it&#039;s quite hard to find coins that might do the job. I am in the UK, so I guessed that a UK coin would be cheapest to obtain. The Wikipedia article on the British farthing says that it&#039;s 0.666 mm thick, but I bought a 1948 one on eBay and it is more like 1 mm thick.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any suggestions for a cheap, thin coin I could buy to do this job?</p><p>Thanks for your suggestions![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
