Ah yes not everyone has foil, not the more obvious thing that more people dont have ( the hydraulic press) Btw i thank everyone who decided to make a joke out of this and not kill me for not getting the joke lol
@@lolololtrololol8213 yeah but you can use the coin to make molds and then use the molds to make a coin, or use sand and coins to cast "fake" metal coins
5:05 This IS basically the traditional way of stamping a coin. You start with a blank coin, put it in a die, set it on a table, and give it a swift smack with a hammer. Voila! You have a coin with a design stamped into one side.
**Hears lots of hammer banging and the vrr of the hydraulic press.** Dad: Finally my son is doing some work around here! Son: **Filming himself smashing a Brillo pad.**
"So what do you for a living?" "I turned a sponge into a coin last week." "What?" "Oh, I also squished some aluminum until it turned into a real coin."
Going to add on to your original comment. "I'm also being investigated by the IRS for destroying legal currency to make counterfeit currency. I'm probably looking at 25 to life."
“Do not try this at home!” There go my weekend plans to use my everyday household hydraulic press to compress metal dish sponges into customized coins that might be illegal
@@cryptid870 Yeah, after those dumb park police confiscated it as "evidence" for some made up crime called "negligent manslaughter" whatever that's supposed to be. (/s)
Actually it's not totally welded together, there will still little bit of air trapped between the gaps of the metal. Just measure the density and compared with the theoretical value, you should see it slightly lower.
I hope you did this away from your home because the video clearly states NOT to do this at home!.. either that or you're some kind of advice ignoring mad man and should be kept away from people and heavy machinery in some kind of padded cell!
I study mechanical engineering, we use hydraulic presses in our workshop, I made a near fatal stupid decision of pressing down too hard on a piece of wood aligning the pieces..it shot out of the press like a shotgun missing my head a couple inches..lol take care if you're using one of these. They ain't no joke!
My favorite part of all these videos is that they start by saying not to try this at home. I’m always like: sure, I totally have a hydraulic press lying around that I forgot about and am now inspired to use to press random objects in the kitchen. I appreciate it though.
I know, right? This was the same deal but on a bigger scale when I was watching a stuntman on TV when I was still living at home. It does seem that logic goes straight out the window before they tell you “don’t try this at home”. Anyway, this stuntman was going for a record by riding his motorcycle up one ramp, fly through a flaming hoop, over ten buses, through another flaming hoop and down the other ramp at the end. Sure enough, there it was, on the screen, “Do not try this at home! This man is a professional!” Straight away I thought to myself, I couldn’t even if I wanted to. What were they expecting me to do... think oh well, that kills my plans for the rest of the afternoon. I’d better go out to to the backyard and put that bike and those buses away, then! 🙄😁👍
I like it when he pulls the steel wool out of the mold and notices the nipple, then he takes out the punch and flips it over to show the hole, and I imagined him thinking, " I had it backward." Lol.
I saw that before he pressed it. It hurt even more when I watched him hammer the business end of the plunger. Well, that's not machined smooth anymore.
