I'm a keen trumpet player so when I was looking at custom trumpets I came across this (you'll find it about quarter way down the page):

5p coins for valve button tops... I'd love a trumpet with coins... but perhaps something better than 5 pence coins... haha! Anyhow, just thought this might be interesting to some of you (maybe).

I win.
God help me as a Philistine*, but I really want one.
Legal disclaimer:
I use Philistine in the literary, rather than literal context. I am in no way racist towards Philistines, their cats, dogs and chickens. I have never aimed my sling at a Philistine, nor do I condone, support or encourage Israelite Kings slaying innocent Philistine giants. Some of my best friends are Philistines and I even had a couple of Philistine girlfriends in Grammar School.
No Philistines were harmed during the production of this forum post which wasn't written by me anyway, it's some other bloke with a different email address who uses my account.

Non illegitimis carborundum est. Excellent advice for all coins.

At last, I found a useful purpose for my pre-euro currency spares.
Every few years, I cover the stairs with a fresh layer of paint, odd and even steps alternatively, how our fathers taught it to us. The coins mark the steps which me and my family can safely walk on!

Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.

This is what the first atomic bomb did to some Japanese coins. It is on display in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
Besides coins I love geometry. The avatar consists of each of the 35 hexominoes used precisely once. With the 5 large yellow shapes placed like this, the solution for tiling the remaining 30 hexominoes is unique.
