[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1950140, member: 15929"]I think that magicians coins are "machined". For example, take two coins. Machine the obv side of one by removing everything within the rims down to one third the thickness of the coin. Then, move the cutter in a 1/16 of an inch and continue machining down to 2/3 the thickness of the coin. This creates a hollow with a step for the cap to rest on. The other coin gets the edges machined upto the rims. Then the uneeded side (the rev), gets machined off until its one third the thickness of the coin. This would create a cap which would fit inside the hollow of the first coin. I do not think that the capability exists to "slice" metal although that area you're referring to does look suspicious.[/QUOTE]
