Nickel with a hole in it

[Krisfr]

Today I went to Lowe's to purchase some 1/4 inch washers. I am mounting a variac.

25 washers for 2.51😱

It would cheaper to drill holes in nickles and half price too.

Is it against the law to do so?

Not against the law any more. But why not use pennies? The fewer of those we have, the better!

They might corrode and or cause me skin Cancer
