What tool is easiest to scratch with? Coins seem to take a long time.

We use coins for larger areas; for smaller ones or where precision in needed, we find sturdy toothpicks to be the best as they don't damage the laminate underneath.

Guess it depends on how many countries you've been to :)I have tried coin, pen, keys, nails and coins are definitely easiest but my nails are most precise.

Coin is a suitable tool-- firstly its fun to scratch! the longer the better :) second the countries are not so big as you might think so it only takes a few seconds to scratch a whole one (except Brazil perhaps!). Enjoy.

A rubber hammer is helpful but not a must. You can always wrap a towel around a regular claw hammer to keep it from scratching.

Timothy, I usually buy the liquid at around $7/ bottle. This can is a TON of Flitz. The bottle may be a better way to go. As for Flitz....awesome. The only thing I have seen that will make nickel like new. Use it on my guitars/pickups. Might also try Mcguires scratch remover paste from an auto store....as two step approach. Good luck.

I bought a little metal coin bank from Amazon. It has a slit in the top, will hold hundreds of blades, and it is sealed. This is it--> Metal Money Coin Bank

Just need a larger monkey wrench, if at all. It takes 1-2 minutest. Also, some tape hat you get at Home Depot helps to seal it up.

No, it comes with plastic coins. You could use real pennies i guess. Actually, kids found out real quick that theres a sensor, so all they even need to do is stick their fingernail into the coinslot and it starts.

The metal is actually rather thin and soft. A ballpoint pen was not enough, in my experience, but a pointed tool was. I do think metal stamping might work well, but I didn't try it myself so I can't say for sure.

There's a youtube video that shows this bank. There's a round product sticker on base of the bank with manufacture detail. Remove the sticker and there's a way to open a small coin-sized opening to remove money. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdRkGX8l3LAI just received the bank. It's a Christmas gift. It looks great - totally plastic but solid and it will definitely be a conversation piece and place to drop in coins for my son in his "gaming room".

I tried it this morning. I was able to fold bills up and put them through the coin slot, and I was able to retrieve them through the hole on the bottom, but I'm not sure it would be very easy to do that for a lot of bills.

The coins did not go into these plastic cover pages there's a piece of cardboard called a coin fold that comes in two sizes of a penny dime nickel quarter half dollar dollar the new dollars smaller. you will also need to buy a stapler and staples to staple your coin into their plastic window coin fold on looks and keeping your coin collection organized. oh yes and the medium size 3 ring binders to put those pages that will really be nice for keeping your collection organized. this is one of my winter project so I'll be working on this organizing my collection I have so many single coins it will be a miracle to go sort through them off.

I use the Royal Sovereign wrappers (tubes). You may want to consider buying the coin tube crimper also.

Hi, the M44-7 is actually one of the best scratch cartridges out there - many scratch DJs will use the 447 exclusively ... so definitely this is one of the best choices out there for turntabalism, beat juggling and scratching.Please let me know if you have any other questions, I will do my best to assist you.JenniferMillennium Worldwide

You might be able to manage that with this tool, but it would take a bit of extra effort, and I wouldn't recommend it. The tip is thin enough you would just be scratching the glass, so it would take a bit of work to do any real engraving with it. I use the tool in field geology in testing rock hardness and magnetism, and that's about it. What you want is an engraver - and they aren't much more expensive. You can pick one up at most hardware stores for about $15, or if you'd rather order one, Dremel makes a decent engraver: Dremel 290-01 0.2 Amp 7,200 Stroke Per Minute Engraver includes Letter and Number Template You might be able to manage that with this tool, but it would take a bit of extra effort, and I wouldn't recommend it.

I answer the same as the other, just buy round inserts (like a coin) at the hardware store.

Sorry this has taken so long to get back to you. You just turn it on throw the coins in the hopper and it does it for you

Well if you use the template took less than a half an hour. Need good tools.
