<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ExoMan, post: 2491672, member: 72588&quot;]The above large cent simply needed one hole to be sewn into clothing. Why do double the work and create two holes? Given that the two holes are distantly spaced, it&#039;s my guess that the above copper may have been transformed into a &quot;whizzer&quot; for some tyke. Tied with string, fastened or held at each end, the coin is rotated many times. Once wound tight, pulling on the ends of the string will cause the copper to make a whizzing sound as it speedily rotates .... I&#039;m almost old enough to remember these things. I do remember the Philco![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
