Re: Penny squashing macines
So my original imaginings of you drilling a finger sized hole in the middle of the shilling wasn't as far out as I thought then was it Mik?
Did you end up with a smooth silver coloured plain ring?

Re: Penny squashing macines
Cadbury's World in Brum has one that stamps a Cadbury logo on them too.
They all seem to cost an additional 50p to do it, I wonder if there is any arranged fee to the treasury, perhaps to replace the 1p value? |

Re: Penny squashing macines
So if I understood this correctly, you put 50p in there, then 1p in the there, pull the handle, and hey presto you've no longer got 51p.
Magic. They do say a fool and his money are easily parted.

Re: Penny squashing macines
Oh yes but you do have an elongated squashed slightly curved remnant of a penny with some logo about where you are impressed upon it.
