This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Are american dimes not magnetic? A magnetic floor sweeper should have worked great there.
Nope. Copper and nickel.
“Modern dimes are made of an outer cladding of 75% copper and 25% nickel, with an inner core of pure copper. “

Ah well that sucks. Canadian dimes are magnetic, I thought it may have been similar.
