hotshot Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) It's fitting that to really see the pattern in this coin, you have to hold it up to the light. Those that have been close to someone with autism may feel just how symbolic that is. I cut the coin with the face upside down, and I think if I continue to cut this coin, I will do that every time. We have a lady in the church that has a child with autism, so I created this pattern a few years back to accompany a box around that same theme. This is the first Mexican Peso that I've cut. The coin is silver color all the way through and cuts really easy (easy on blades too), but I don't know what is is made of. These are cheap coins and I bought a bunch. I'm glad they cut well. ----------Randy Edited January 25, 2016 by hotshot Smudger, lawson56, Fab4 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Another excellent piece. An Autistic child seen in the right light can give so much, unfortunately some people fail to see the light. Marg lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotshot Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 (Peso Composition per Wikopedia is Stainless steel 16% ~ 18% chromium 0.75% nickel, maximum 0.12% carbon, maximum 1% silicon, maximum 1% manganese, maximum 0.03% sulfur, maximum 0.04% phosphorus, maximum remaining of iron Wow, with that much steel, you would think it would be impossible to cut, but the other ingredients must soften it dramatically. Thanks for the info. --------Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
