Quarter Shrinker

Or how to shrink a quarter to the size of a dime in about 30 microseconds. It's pretty spectacular, though the end result looks a little bubbly and melted. ;)

That's amazing! Kind of like the junk like quality of everything they used but an entertaining toy.

I'd try to spend it and demand they took it as legal currency.

I got bored and zoomed to the end. Is that bad?

To be honest, I don't know if this was the video I watched or not. There's only 4 frames of interested.

Here's the kicker: The camera taking the video was running at <b>100,000 frames per second</b>. At that speed, <b>only 4 frames of video</b> show the coin shrinking.

But yeah, I'm with Lith on this one. "What, there's NOTHING wrong with it? Are you trying to"--wait for it--"<i>short</i> change me?"

I've made enough groaners tonight to make Elade proud.
