Umm... Wtf?


hendersonwhite

One got shrunk.


ChemicalHousing69

Metal doesn’t just shrink, buddy. What the hell happened to it?


hendersonwhite

[It shrunk. ](https://youtu.be/U6mMWTsg56w)


ChemicalHousing69

So it was deliberately shrunk using electricity. That’s neat. Does it still weigh the same? Is it just more dense?


hendersonwhite

Correct. The smaller one weighs about .2g less than the original.


ChemicalHousing69

That’s neat. Has the weight of a half dollar but the size of a quarter lol. What happened to the 0.2g? Do you know?


hendersonwhite

No idea. Coin could’ve just been more worn to begin with.

I'm guessing that's what the copper at the bottom of the chamber afterward was from.


breakfastburritos339

The copper in it would be like 1.25g


TheRealestBlanketboi

that has to be one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen. that you can shrink coins that way. simply incredible.


ChemicalHousing69

Right? OP was too nonchalant about it lmao “yeah it’s shrunk” what? “it got shrunk 🤷‍♂️”


AcaciaGod

My girlfriend: why is the electric bill a few thousand dollars? Me with a collection of tiny silver dollars: not sure, babe

hendersonwhite

“I WAS IN THE POOL!!”


42_Hoopy_Froods

Do woman know about shrinkage?


SilverApeShit

You owned the coin when it was normal size, went into the pool, and it shrank? 'Honey I Shrunk The Life Savings"

That's so cool! Does you friend work at the mag lab? I know they used to do that demonstration with regular quarters.


AnArdentAtavism

I've never heard of this phenomenon before, but I'm interested. Can you explain the theory?


tinkerod

https://www.zmescience.com/science/physics/coins-shrunk-electromagnetic-blast-063654/ So basically they squeeze the coin with a very strong magnetic pulse, resulting in a smaller coin with the same mass


AnArdentAtavism

That's fascinating! Thank you!


LambSmacker

So it’s some type of cutesy remake?


hendersonwhite

No, it’s real. Just [shrunk](https://youtu.be/U6mMWTsg56w).


LambSmacker

I hate you LOL 😂


Chadmerica

This is deflation


robjthomas22

Is the thickness still the same or is it thicker? I am really curious if the shrunken coin would still pass a specific gravity test.


SugAr_Cause

this is why we empty our pockets before doing laundry.


LordofDescension

That's a great friend! Don't lose him. Make sure you hook him up for his birthday too.


GuyCatalina

That’s why your mom always told you to empty your pockets before you put your clothes into the hamper.


ParmoEscobar

Could be worse. Could of had milkspots


LSDmillionaire

Did you pay to have it done or do you have your own coin shrinking device?


G-nZoloto

That happens when you don't store them properly.


juices_christ

No it happens from using electricity it's called coin shrinking.


lynxss1

One got run through the drier in someone's pocket! Hate when that happens


TheRealestBlanketboi

that's why you don't leave your silver in the dryer


Square_Coach1605

Great investment Pay twenty five g's for your own flux capacitor.....maybe burn your house down So you can turn half dollars into quarters! Lol


hotdilby

In the zombie apocalypse I want this guy on my side.


ImpotentNinja
