| | Machines to roll coins are adjustable; the model which Willy displayed can roll cents, nickels, dimes, or quarters, plus equivalent-sized non-US coinage. | | | In response to a question about die lifetimes, he said that dies used for rolling cents could last almost forever --- but a highly-detailed die applied to nickels could crack quickly, due to the hardness of the nickel alloy. | | | At $5 it was a great deal; most original hobo nickels in such nice condition sell for $40-$100. |

| | Welcome to The Penny Smasher - Custom Elongates, and More! |
| | An elongated coin is made by a coin, token, medal or metal blank being forced between two steel rollers. | | | An engraving is on one or both of the rollers and as the coin passes through the rollers it is squeezed or elongated under tremendous pressure from the original round shape to one of an oval and the engraved design impressed into the coin at the same time. | | | This statue does not, however, prohibit the mutilation of coins if done without fraudulent intent if the mutilated coins are not used fraudulently. |
