    The patience some people have is extraordinary.

    I wonder if it would be easier with a water jet cutter.

    Are you referring to my patience with you? :)

    Or that it would be easier to cut you with a water jet. :)

    Very cool idea, but there's something wrong with the pound to USD conversion -
    Price:
    US $99.95
    Approximately 29.95.
    Would be tempted at $45

    Your perception of my reality is in your mind.

    As is mine of yours.........

    You may need to expand yours.

    excellent idea ... make pieces 1/20 oz ... and round consisting of 20 pieces - I'd get couple of coins for $45

    With any metal cutting process you are going to loose a small amount of metal. It would be interesting to see what the actual weight of these coins are now.

    Cool idea. However (as a young person) my generation is barely intelligent enough to complete a puzzle, let alone to appreciate silver.

    That said,

    "Cutting up coins like these are an expression of not taking
    life and material possessions too seriously. A puzzle coin says: 'I value a cool idea, craftsmanship and a good laugh more than a coin!'"

    Yeah no. :)
