How about someone post a photo of the Western (Montana?) Bar that has a Morgan dollar motif to the bar inside the Bar and and on the wall beside or behind the bar in the Bar?
Is this it?

I do not think so.
The one I recall had dollars space much closer together and on the wall was a silver dollar portrait of an elegantly dressed 19th century woman.
Looks whizzed to me.

For various reasons, I really wanted an Athens Owl tetradrachm. When I showed my wife what they look like, she was charmed as well, but thought it would make a good pendant for a necklace.
So we made it a joint venture: I scoured the world for a very nice copy, certified by NGC Ancients. Then we took it to a jeweler with whom we have done lots of business, asking them to crack it out and turn it into a necklace, without damaging the precious, ancient coin.
And they did an excellent job.
Coins are Neato!

That sounds like the silver queen in Virginia city, Nevada.
Available right now on eBay. I have this in my watch list. When I first saw it, I was tempted to buy it but couldn’t bring myself to do so

Customizable sprinklers using a large coin:
If your sprinklers need adjustment from hard water deposits you can customize the spray patters using a good sized coin! Instead of paying the sprinkler guy!! Make rainbows too!

I just collect and accumulate coins.... The collection is for my enjoyment, the accumulation is because I do not spend enough change and my pocket gets heavy. I have never considered doing such projects (some of which are shown above) with my accumulation. If I ever run out of the things that currently interest me, and take all my non-sleeping hours, perhaps I will consider some coin project - - - - probably not.
Cheers, RickO
These coin projects probably aren't being done by "true" collectors or numismatists like us. All I see is damage to the coins.

I use dimes quite a bit to pry open remote cases for battery replacement. It's amazing that some people don't know how, or won't learn how, to do it for themselves.

It's Roosevelt but we get your point. Is that a VW engine? I had a VW years ago. I'm trying to figure out what part of the engine that is.

A dime can be used to measure the choke on a 12-gage shotgun. If the dime doesn't fit the bore of the barrel, it's a full choke. If it does, it's a modified choke or an improved cylinder choke.

The dime looks silver, huh?
Oh, okay. That's a much newer model. That explains it. Mine was a 66. Thanks @Fraz.

Modified or Improved Modified. The difference between Modified and Improved Cylinder is great, then of course I'm shooting handicap from the 20 yard line. teehee hee
Sharp of you to remember that!
Crimp my crust! I like those!

So here begins a thread that will teeter on the borders, not to press my luck, but for a good laugh.
How to PROPERLY adjust vehicle mirrors with no blind spots:
Step one- enter drivers side, sit down in drivers seat. Do not fart, yet, as the window need to be up.
Step two- lean your head to the left until it gently bumps the drivers window.
Step three- Tape a US COIN to the window where your head hit. Then put your head against the coin while looking through the driver side mirror
Step four-adjust mirror until you just see the side of your tail light, or rearmost side corner, with head against US coin.
Step five- egress driver side (fart now) and enter passenger front seat repeat coin taping, head bump and tail light just visible
Now your mirrors are PROPERLY adjusted. When you look at the rear view objects on edges will also be in side mirrors. This entirely eliminates blind spots.
Step six- leave coin taped to window, optional, like a bumper sticker, to look cool to fellow coin nuts.

This concludes the first Coin Lyfe,

I'm thinking the silver is more malleable in that joint, rather then clad.

I used a clad, tapped it gently in, no adhesive. It blew out a few years later, repeat. I drove those things for fifty years.
Used these to play Texas Hold'em over Thanksgiving with the family. Bought the chip holder on eBay a few years ago. The family loved playing with Ike dollars as chips!
What was the year of that engine/vehicle?

This thing is supposed to ward off evil spirits and diseases. I'm not sure how well it works, but it looks pretty cool.

I’ll have to remember to get a picture on Sunday…
We live in a copper mining town and our church had the kids bring pennies that were used to make a table top in the entryway. It looks really nice and is a connection to the local community (and don’t worry, there was something biblical tied to the whole thing but I just can’t remember what it was).
Some craftsmen in the church made the table along with some other things for the room but this was the only one with coins.
Used the dime to help put a flint in zippos
I pulled the pic at random. My gf had a ‘73 autostick and I had a ‘75 with that same carb, dimed up like that.
Magicians pull coins out of ears.
Thanks for that. Here's my 66.

There’s no longer a handy picture of this, but contractors would shoot a nail through a penny or nickel if their powder actuated tool had too much power when firing a nail through a 2x4 to concrete.
