I'm fine with punching holes into squished pennies since the law is on my side when it comes to penny distraction via souvenir machines. somehow it seems incredibly sad to punch holes into vintage silver half dollars for the sake of jewelry making. I scoured the Internet and ordered this sterling silver coin bezel. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
