<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 3121571, member: 77814&quot;]Yeah, in jewelry there was an article in a trade magazine in the early 90s touting how to use coins to save money in various things instead of copper, nickel etc blanks (flat thin and round metal sheets as one built up their skills).&nbsp; And for testing your skills at soldering, drilling, convexing, using as a buffer between some flat jewelry and the jaw clamps for soldering, light hammering (you would use the coins since they are round too to prevent overtapping (hammering) as you&#039;d hit the coin rim if you go too far, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since the coins were still worth face value afterwards it ends up saving some money over time versus buying various sizes of round blanks, etc.&nbsp; Of course, now I see postings of damaged coins that could have even been from those uses these number of years later.&nbsp; LMAO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
