I must apologize GaffCards for the tardiness on the Magnetic coin project. I have destroyed many coins, and came up with quite a few decent prototypes, however It seemed if I gained in performance, I lost in visual inspection and I was never confident in them enough to release a tutorial. I have tweaked the process a bit an think I may be on to something promising. Trust that if its taking a while, its because I want to present the best possible options.
Here is what I can say:
-Be prepared to get out some power tools and safety goggles. -The sweeter the power tools, the easier this will be (assuming you know how to use them correctly).
-I am also working on a manual alternative however you are going to have to work for it.
-I jumped the gun in saying that it will cost 25 cents, Currently as it stands they may cost around $1 in materials
-You will need a power drill regardless
I wish I could reveal more but I gotta keep this one hush till its a reality.

It’ll work with an coin that is attracted to a magnetic field. Test whether your currency can work by putting a magnet next to it. In the U.S, we have to purchase steel quarters for this trick to work. =(

The un-torn trick sounds pretty cool, looking forward to it. Also I was wondering when you were going to update us on the magnetic quarter project, hopefully it will work with 10 pence pieces aswell?

Im not sure how that goes. What im doing now with it is creating my own restores to help with that. I would also like to send a letter to both authors explaining the trick and see if they are ok with it. There is a good possibility that someone will say no way and it will never see the light of day. However It is a great alternative to torn and I believe more impacting as the pieces are kept out at all times. We’ll see how it goes.

good idea, but about the un-torn trick. Are you sure their won’t be any copyright problems? Because if there are… Ouch.
