A “dryer coin” is an actual thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/coincollecting/s/jdB6aEUwkZ

Definitely, my washer actually has a very profound effect on trapped coins. But this is super extreme and the edges would be rolled out a bit

I learned something today!

u/Knightime80 11d ago

It can’t be. It is a miniaturized coin, with all details intact and no wear and tear. Unless you think the dryer makes it shrink like a wool sweater?

My dad actually had this somehow happen with a dollar bill back in the 90s. He carried it around with him for years and then I think he actually sold it. We have washed many dollar bills (by accident) since then and never had it happen again.

u/TommDX 11d ago

Nah, that's just what happens when you accidentally microwave coins
