    Sorry Dan i do not care if you modify the penny I sent a video in using a larger penny.

    This record was broken in February please advise if you do not have video thanks

    this is a different record catagorie the number of pennies shows it is not the same record . But i applaud the new record all i need is a press

      What do others think? Should we reward Tai's creativity, or split this into a new category and add a rule that "coins may not be modified"?

  • Canada Doug McManaman

    Does this mean you can change the original record on any record not a good idea

    I vote separating this to a new category. It just doesn't feel right seeing all the previous attempts.

  • Canada Dan Rollman

    Tai, this is an elegant and genius solution. I feel mostly that your loophole violates the spirit of the category and therefore should be denied, but part of me wants to reward the creativity. What do others think? (At the least, we could break it into two categories.)

    just saw a record attempt using a flattened penny this is not the same as the record was made therefore a different catagory thanks

  • Canada Doug McManaman

    very true Dan maybe a second level but it might be a different catagorie

  • Canada Doug McManaman

    very true Dan there is only so much room on a penny maybe a second level but it might be a different record as in 2 pennies

  • Canada Dan Rollman

    Extraordinary, Doug. I just tried for awhile but only got up to 12. Have no idea how someone will beat this -- maybe a second level of pennies?
