A couple of years back, someone on here was making rings out of state quarters by drilling them out and working them down a ring sizer, or something similar.
Any idea who dat be? The idea has stuck in my head ever since, and I was wondering how to get started.

Don't know who it was on here but we did it all the time as kids. Just put them on the RR tracks first. then bent them into shape.

Nope, not illegal.

First, you must have fraudulant intent.
It is illegal to:
-Shave a gold or silver coin
-Alter a bill to pass as a larger currency (forgery)
-and a few others that probably dont apply to the current money being produced
Thats why you can put money in a machine that flattens it as the coin you recieve can no longer be circulated.

I've seen the spoon/coin thing, but the ones that I'd seen done were done in different fashion. The basic technique seemed to be drilling out a hole in the center and then working it down a rod much like, or perhaps EXACTLY like, a ring sizer. It ends up turning the sides perpendicular. On a State quarter, the outside of the ring ends up being the "heads" face of the quarter, and will say the name of the state on it.
May have just been someone who was on here shortly. I did some internet searching and seems the most common ring conversion is the spoon thing.

This is correct! Which makes me wonder how Obama is allowed to devalue it to nothing!
