<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3172143, member: 112&quot;]Threads on this topic come up all the time and every time they do there are a myriad of answers and solutions posted. But the safest and easiest solution is the freezer. Why ? Because pretty much all the other solutions like cutting, and prying and banging can create their own problems of potential damage to the coins. But the freezer, the reason it works, and safely, is because it reverses what caused the problem to begin with - a different expansion and contraction rate between the plastic and the metal coins. Simply put, metal expands and contracts faster, and more, than plastic does. So when you put it in the freezer the coins contract faster than the plastic and they will easily come out with no risk of damage to the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Simply make sure that you allow them to reach room temperature, and that any condensation, if there is any, has a chance to dry before packing them away again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
