Magicians coin?

[I've got the bug]

I found this coin yesterday and I could tell that there was something different about it. It weighs 10.8 grams, but it isn't worn down enough to be that light.

Also, when you flick it with your thumb it makes a thud. Clad normally makes a slight ring, but this just makes a thud.

Tell me what you think.

Can you open it? Mine weighs 10.6g

I've tried, but I haven't been able to. Is there a secret to opening it?

 

[Dannycoco]

I had to keep dropping mine on the table and it popped open. After I got it open it seems to open easier now.

run under HOT faucet, drop HARD on floor----POP, tinkle, magic

Another method that works for me is to place it in a thick plastic tumbler or other non-breakable container, put your hand over the opening and shake the $@#@ out of it.

Or coffee mug or thick square jar.

Thanks, guys. I'll try some of these suggestions tonight.
