<p>[QUOTE="ACoinJob, post: 2649797, member: 76768"]I just wanted to help, however, I asked my friends on facebook too. With 3D technology approaching fast, the SMITHSONIAN wants volunteers for getting models of enlarged coins either by finding them on the streets, or by engineering them.On <a href="http://CoinTalk.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://CoinTalk.com/" rel="nofollow">CoinTalk.com</a> there's a post I followed for this cause. I realize you're not going to find 100% of their requested coins, so, out of necessity I figured out that if you were to enlarge a coin to a 32X size model, you would use the cube-root of 32 for a 1 ounce coin. 3.1748 x 3.1748 x 3.1748 = 31.999936 for a ball park figure of a scale to enlarge the coins appropriately for blind & disabled kids to touch, and draw a representation of the coins. SMOOTH-ON Inc had some polycoating material for making a 3" inch diameter Coin replica of the 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter. 3" inch models are good for kids to touch too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
