I want to scroll saw some coins but I need to make them thinner so they can be bent. Any ideas how to hold a coin against a disk sander, try to remove about a 1/3 of it without taking you life in your own hands?

Double sided carpet tape on a larger piece of wood should work, I got a roll at Lowes's and use it constantly to saw small pieces of wood, and sand, safety glasses a MUST.

Use a fostner bit and make your hole the depth you need and glue your coin in the hole. When you cut your coin super glue it to a piece of 1/4" something so you can hold it. You may also like to make a hold down stick (like a Popsicle stick) and hold your coin as close to the blade as you can and cut at a slow saw speed and pause often to keep the heat down. You can clean the super glue off with fingernail polish remover.Attached FilesMay the wind at you back .....

Not a problem as long as you aren't defrauding anyone.

True for every US coin except for the Silver American Eagle dollar coin. But thats an oz. of 99.99999% pure silver and thats worth too much to cut up.
Go Figure.

At he end of each issue is a copy of the entire pullout for that issue....-
