Oggi stavo guardando le mie enormi somme di ricchezza e ho notato che una delle monete è stata limata in quella che sembra essere una rasatura di monete. Questa è una pratica in cui le persone rimuovono il metallo dalle monete fondamentalmente per rubare denaro.

The metal would basically worthless though as they are not made from a precious metal. More likely it just got mangled somehow.
And how exactly would that work and be profitable in any sense? Coins are made of worthless material.
I think a liklier explanation is that it got run over and dragged a bit
To me this rather looks like dragged across asphalt than filed down
Sometimes when people try to pay with coins at a machine (like Selecta or parking) and the machine refuses the coins, they scrape them across the surface and try again. I think that is what happened to the coin.
The metal used in coins nowadays is cheap. This one looks more like it was scraped across a hard surface by accident.
“haha, I already stole 0,002 grams copper, soon I’ll be rich!”
Swiss coins are made of an alloy of Nichel and Copper
And you get to that conclusion from one single ruined coin?
Please think for 5 seconds before posting next time.
Totally unacceptable. Go to the BNS, ask for a refund, give them all the details about the case, they need to know what is happening !
That was only a thing when the coin’s value was related to the material it was made out of. This is also why there are those small ribs on the edges, so you can see whether the coin is whole or not.
This coin is a copper-nickel alloy (no more silver after 1968). Even if it was made 100% out of copper it would still only be worth less that 10 cents.
Been a while.
But for ticket machines and the likes, I used to have to rub the coins against surfaces when the machine kept rejecting my coins — so it would finally accept it after rubbing it on metal for a few seconds.
I imagine that would make a coin look like that.
The coin is from 1995, so 30-31 years old. If I look at how people treat their own things I am not surprised it looks like that by now.
Thanks for the tip! ka-ching
Got some angry vending machine.
Nothing else.
All is good.
Yes, i am a coin shaver.
My father taught me the art of coin shaving. It is a family business.
no, what is your thought process behind this?
This practice was likely more profitable in early ages lol.
