[+] I like it and also think a game may be played by throwing the coins into a bucket to make a song! |
|
|
Is this meant as a pun, as in a pound note? |

//Counterfeit coins made of different composition would be
detectable because they would sound the wrong note//
They would not, in other words, ring true. |

I suggest cutting normal coins in a spiral. That'd give you a long coil, without changing the coin much. |

I've a couple of solid silver coins, and a counterfeit that is clad copper. There is a great difference in how they ring when I bounce them on a counter the way folks used to do when gold and silver coins were used. As [mouseposture] says, "ring true" is an old phrase. |
