milkbone Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I have heard rumors of this, but never seen any documentation or proof of the feat. Has this ever been done? If so, who did it and when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'm pretty sure we all agreed before, this is not possible with modern coins. Old time strongmen may have done this with weaker metals, but I'm not aware of anyone who can currently do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkbone Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 I had heard a rumor a while back ago that some guy named Mike "The Destroyer" could do this. I looked at his web site and he does not mention it as something he does, so dunno. I am skeptical about this feat and believe it is more than likely performed as a magic trick rather than as a feat of strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I've seen Stanless Steel kink a penny. Wasn't much of a bend, and his fingers were shredded, but it was bent. No gimicks, no BS. As far as folding one completely over I'm not sure that's gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I stand corrected. Perhaps a foreign coin is possible. Are there any that are larger than a penny but still made entirely of copper? Then it might be the same technique as a key bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darco Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Canadian pennies made of copper plated zinc, would this be easier ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Not sure, is zinc softer than copper? Is there a metalurgist in the house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davekline Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 US Pennies are also made of copper plated zinc. Shouldn't this thread be moved to the bending forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkbone Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 (edited) Forgive me for categorizing it incorrectly. I just viewed it as a feat of pinch grip strength (fingers), but I guess bending may be more appropriate.

Darco Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I see it more as thumb strength so Wade would be my pick. Wrist strength doest come into play very much. (Tried it with plyers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
