    Cool WANTED... Looking to buy 10 cent Euro coins.

    Besides scrapping metal, sometimes I make stuff out of it. Yeah I know artsy sorta lame. Anyway, the Banks in Australia don't exchange coins. So if anyone has a source, or can develop one. I want to buy 10 cent euro coins (France,Greece or whatever).

    And before anyone asks...this is not a penny hoarding thing on a different level. I want to cut out the area between the Head Side picture and the outer ring to make pendent jewelery.



    Edit....forgot the offer of payment 50% profit over face value face value $100 = $150 + shipping
    they come in rolls of 40...25 rolls = $50 so even if the rolls weigh 4 lb 12.50 per pound. I would think the rolls would weigh less like 25 = 1-2 pounds. With all appropriate exchange rates of course.

    It depends on the coin. You can melt down silver us coins but not pennies or nickels. I dont know why there is a difference but there is one.

    I would think that would refer to making a US $1 look like a US $50 and that sort of thing. Anyway I was thinking of paying whoever can help me 50% profit. Example you sell me face value $100 and I pay you $150 plus shipping. They come in rolls of 40 so 25 rolls would make you $50. I don't know how much that weighs. but probably 1-2 pounds. So if any of you scrappers would be interested in making $25 a pound for metal, let me know!!!!!
