<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2888231, member: 24314&quot;]Note: I think there is only one drum rotating, but it does have an outer wall.</p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Right and AFAIK, the outer wall does not move.&nbsp; Many of us have put trousers in a dryer with coins in the pocket.&nbsp; Many times they come out and make a tiny clatter if a cent and a louder intermittent clatter if they are a quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, we know:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. It should take a very long time to produce those rounded, COMPLETLY SMOOTH, PERFECTLY UNIFORM EDGES on a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Dryer technicians claim they find them in machines.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Posters call them &quot;Dryer Coins.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So, how are they made? The only space is in the front of the drum as the holes inside the drum are too small.&nbsp; The drum has sides with a raised lip.&nbsp; Not saying it cannot happen but try to imagine the coin would need to be trapped in the clothes jammed up near the lip and slip at the right angle into the space around the revolving drum.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an open mind but IMO, this is a &quot;cooked-up&quot; myth.&nbsp;&nbsp; BTW, all those 19th Century Indian cents and Liberty nickels I&#039;ve seen with the same edge got into a dryer also! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
