<p>[QUOTE="wolves69, post: 181622, member: 7322"]As far as I know, the coins were never melted. The POWs didn't have that type of equipment. What they did was take a coin and holding it on the face, bounced the coin on the rim, as if trying to balance it. In time, the weight of the coin will force the metal to the rims and double fold on itself. I'm sure there are other quicker ways to do this, else someone wouldn't be making a profit. Maybe someone else can shed more light on this...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
