We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
durring the weeks of building this, I came across a Netherlander 10 ct piece which has a smaller diameter than a dime... Next time I'll balance all the coins on this even smaller coin.
@Phillip If you cant find a american dime, I suggest using the smallest coin of your currency.... I put it on a dime cause its the smallest coin i had 17.91mm . .
i know it say on the criteria to use simular marterial as the record but what happens if you do not have US currecy? i am australian and i would like to attempt this with over 6000, yes i said 6000 coins, that is to the australian currency
Tai said he put his on the corner for stability, I put mine on the corner so I wouldn't have to be hunching over for 8 hours. As for the coins in groups, I'm putting them in groups of 10 on a board for easy counting for next time. It takes a lot longer than you'd think to stack several thousand coins in groups of 10.
WOW, fantastic effort. I see there's still much more life left in this record, keep it coming guys!! Great video evidence and great to see the collapse - what a mess at the end!. Moving forward, there needs to be a way to determine the exact number of coins, by way of a tally board or showing coins in groups of 10 or 100. What is the reason for building on the corner of the desk?
I counted in sets of 100 and kept track on skype where I was streaming it to a few friends. That's why you see me go to the computer and take pictures a few times.
it is precariously on the very edge/corner, for a few reasons, to make it easy to see that it is on one dime, and i think the structure of the table is most sturdy there, plus i just like precarious balance
Definitely take plenty of photos from the top, side, underneath. It looks really artistic. And why do you do it precariously on the very edge/corner of the table??
Hey Tai, if you could take some nice photos when you do these crazy records...that'd be so awesome! Would love to have some for our blog and such. Really, great work.
the coins added near the bottom are stuck in the gaps between coins and as you can see at the end they're not touching anything else. it is all still balanced on the dime. but thanks for the observant comment Cyril
three dimes on a quarter for 4 layer then then a bigger coin for 4 layers then a ring of dime for at least 4 layers, and next size coins, pennies nickels quarters. then more dimes, and so on....

Dan Rollman
@Phillip Is there any way you can get a single U.S. dime? Beyond that, any type of coin is permitted. Can't wait to see you attempt to beat this...

incredible...
Tai Star
its amazing how lopsided it gets before it falls
Matt Davis
Yea, his was better looking, I'll agree on that. Mine was leaning so I had to pile them on the side so it didn't look neat and tidy.
Simon Kirk
Awesome Matt. I think Tai's looked more pretty though...
Emily Miethner
HOLY CRAP! I can't believe someone beat this!!!!
Jennifer Wark
Fantastic, Matt!

Rob Birdsong
@Matt's record shows the topple over that everyone was hoping Tai's clip showed. Bravo to you both.
Tai Star
great!! how did you count that?
Emily Miethner
Tai, this looks like a record you could break! http://recordsetter.com/world-record/poker-chip-sculpture/11746

Hope to hear from you soon!
Rich Ferguson
Freaking awesome dude!... Looks like you simply ran out of coins. Wish you could have gone until it exploded.
Dustin Barker
this is insane

Tai Star
it took 7 hours of building time

Definitely take plenty of photos from the top, side, underneath. It looks really artistic. And why do you do it precariously on the very edge/corner of the table??

Alex Cunningham
You, sir, are a beast.
Emily Miethner
I watched this with my mouth open. SO COOL.
Simon Kirk
How many hours did this take you?

Cyril Navidad
@Tai, this is a very impressive attempt but i noticed at 8:31 you added some coins at the bottom of the structure which is against the criteria.
Julian Purrinos
you put glue!!!!!

What's the strategy behind making the structure hollow?
Emily Miethner
Glorious!
