Default Re: Improvising with Household Items.

AFAIR the law changed a few years ago. On a recent visit to the National Railway Museum they had one of those machines where you put a 1p piece in one slot and 50p (or perhaps it was £1) in the other slot, and it runs the 1p though a pair of rollers that embosses a picture on the coin ( "Mallard" in the case of the NRM), the coin becoming oval as a consequence.
