How to make Copper Plated Quarters

Follow along in this video as Mike from The Geek Pub demonstrates a cool use of the Mini Forge! We're going to make copper plated quarters with nothing but heat and a little methanol! The Leidenfrost effect is demonstrated in this video, and results in our methanol boiling twice in rapid succession. It's a really neat effect. In addition to that, our methanol acts as a really cool oxidizer and our quarters become copper plated. The main source of heat in this project is a small propane torch. Be sure to use it in a well ventilated area. In my testing, this effect works on any quarter, but it works best on quarters made before 2000 (they contain different amounts of copper and nickel). NOTICE: This project can be dangerous and requires adult supervision. Risk of burns, cuts, and loss of fingers and vision. Be sure to follow all safety precautions and wear eye protection at all times. You assume all risks! If you build this project, make a video and post it as a video response to this video! We want to see it, and we want our viewers to see it!
