Good afternoon, folks! It's time to have more fun with another Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins auction! And this time, we're playing with a baseball theme.

First at bat was dozerz, who stepped up to the plate and smacked a HOMERUN with an opening bid of .30 BTC! Shocked

Who's next in the lineup? It could be YOU!

How do you play? It's simple! Any bid increase of .01 is a single, .02 is a double, .03 is a triple, and .04 is a homerun. And for those POWER HITTERS, any bid increase of 1.00 BTC or more is the big GRAND SLAM!

I hope this set comes with a train doodle....

Maybe, I'll have to choo-choo it over a while. (My sincerest apologies, but I simply can't help myself when it comes to bad puns. I'd try to explain my reasons, but I'm afraid you'd find that I have loco motives.) Grin

Anyway... a few more 2-Packs and Short Rolls in the mail. Thank you, everyone. Wink

Can we buy special train-ridden coins? Smiley

Do you mean our Limited RR Edition™ commemorative coins? Yes, they're available in the 2-Pack for only $7.99 + shipping. Grin

Now, let's get this thread back on...(ahem)...track. Wink

(Sorry, I simply can't resist a bad pun.)

The flatten quarter is so sharp on one edge that I can open boxes with it

Great idea! The larger of the two Bitcoin Penny Limited RR Edition™ coins has a pretty sharp edge. I'll try it soon. Smiley

Thanks for the explanation BG4.   Wink

It depends on ...where on the rail you put the coin....A train wheel only makes contact with a small part of the rail... to reduce friction...   if you place the coin near the point of contact ...the coin will become so flat that it will become sharp like a blade..... further away from the point of contact and the gap will increase ....and not flatten the coin as much...... I think that point of contact is near the inside edge of a rail...

That explains why some of the design remained. I taped my coins to the center of the rail.

Regards,
Christopher

Very odd as I did the same exact thing!  Taped them dead center with scotch tape.   Smiley

Here are two photos as I carry this coin around with me in my wallet and yes it is sharp like BG explained.  The train that went over this penny was a freight train and not a passenger train.

I've put pennies on a track before and they were completely flattened with no design.  These bitcoin pennies must be beefy or the train that ran over my pennies was carrying a lot more weight.   Grin

The myth busting "coin flatten by a train" testing I did was with a quarter and the train was moving really slow.....
The flatten quarter is so sharp on one edge that I can open boxes with it

And I would never distroy a bitcoin penny like that...

Isn't it dangerous to lay pennies on a train track? Undecided

No, not at all. According to the snopes website (as well as various online posts from train engineers/workers), it's a perfectly harmless tradition and will NOT derail a train. Wink

Mythbusters did an experiment with it too. "The train simply heated and flattened the pennies. Quoting narrator Rob Lee, The myth wasn’t Busted – it was Flattened."
