I usually try to double post to my two favorite forums at about the same time, but because of the outage, I posted this to the Fox Chapel forum earlier.  So for those of you that don't frequent the other forum, here is my latest:

I found a rolling mill on Craigslist at a price I could afford, so that gave me the ability to flatten coins (without a hammer). Because this design is so wide, I would have to shrink the pattern down to where it was uncuttable on a regular coin. For this cutting, I flattened/elongated a greek drachma to about 2 times it's normal width, then cut this pattern. For perspective, It is about the same height as a dime. On my screen, the image below is about double actual size. It is too fragile to wear, but it makes interesting conversation piece.

 

 

This is my very old but new to me rolling mill:
