: If there were a way to wrap the coins in both directions, (where the
: flat
: and thin sides got equal emf compression at the same time{i'm sure there
: is}) would the coins become and stay more dense? If they became more
: dense could there be a way to make them harder and not softer like lead?
: Kind of an interesting thought that maybe nobody else might have had.
: A thought with potentially profitable implications.

: Hi Andrew,
: To my knowledge, there is no coil configuration (or any other process
: for that matter) that could be used to make the material in the coins
: permanently denser. This is due to the inherent physical properties of
: the metals and alloys used in coins. The coins do get tougher from work
: hardening and the surfaces show signs of plastic flow (radiating Luder's
: Lines), but the metals and alloys will not retain a permanently higher
: density state.
: Best regards,
