<p>[QUOTE="zekeguzz, post: 721544, member: 15455"]CPHINE this is going to look very crude but it works great for me. Just take a piece of scrap wood that will accomodate the size of your coin or close to it. Place the coin on the end of the piece and outline the coin onto it. Now carve following the outline of the coin's shape to at least the depth of the slot. Taper the sides so when you fit into the coin slot it fits snug when all the way into the slot. Now you can gently rotate the piece to enlarge to soften the sides of the slot. You know what I mean. Trial and error will get you the correct shape and fit. This crude piece of mine works great with no damage to the slot. I added magic tape over it because it is just a tiny bit smaller than what I need plus its softer than the coin slot material. I took the tape off too illustrate the carving. It took less than a half hour to get it right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
