What is one thing that you're finding frustrating right now in your business? Mine is my website, after years of using certain plug ins, they stopped working and I have no alternatives.

The solution we use with the tumbler for washing coins. 2 TBS Dish soap, 1/2 tsp Lemishine and water, until about 3 to 4 inches from top of tumbler. #smashingpennies #elongatedcoins #cleaningcoins #elongatedcoin

This is what happens, if you clean zinc coins by accident. This is also why most collectors only use pre 1982 pennies to press on.

It is illegal to press elongated coins in countries that prohibit the defacement of their currency. Such as Canada, where it is illegal to deface coins with the Queen's image. #smashingpennies #elongatedcoins #didyouknow #elongatedcoincollector

We went with PirateShip, for our mailing needs, it was a difficult choice. They had more features and seemed easier to use than some of the others. Since we sell coins, it just made sense to go with PirateShip. #smashingpennies ##elongatedcoins #pirateship #orders

We have been looking for a new postage company for a while. Our old one just doesn't fit like it used to, we don't have the volume of labels they like to see. PirateShip is at the top of our list for printing shipping labels.

The process for making a custom / stock coin isn't always easy? The steps are, design and pick size of coin to use. Double check to make sure it looks good, on the size you picked. If not, redesign or try on larger coin.
