Making a penny sandwich

- I recently got a 100 ton hydraulic press for an upcoming video, and I wanted to test it out, by crushing a poor penny.

I like how this channel is basically what Nile Blue was supposed to be

@@ClutchCpsYea, fr. Lol
a tenth of the runtime, a hundred times more chaotic
@@ClutchCps hey i know you.
Hey Nile blue is great too!
taste the sandwich for us
It will be surprising if it tasted coppery and nickely at the same time
I suddenly don't feel very good 💀
He licked them all clean before filming
If you guys watched all his videos you would know that metal don't really taste anything.
I feel very disappointed by all of you! I though you were real fans... 😔
@@Alfred-Neumani hope you're joking
I feel like Nigel shouldn’t be trusted with a 100 ton hydraulic press
I feel like Nigel shouldn't be trusted with a chemistry lab... Not for his sake, but for the sake of humanity
@@mhammadalloush5104 you kinda have a point
It's not hydraulic, it's a hand press can't you hear with your ears?
@@Boogie_the_cat In case you didn’t know hand presses of such magnitude still use a hydraulic or in some cases pneumatic mechanism to exert that much force, what else do you think that lever would be doing?
@extracurricularkitty3605 are you dumb?
Fun Penny Facts:
Despite their nearly identical size and mass, Canadian and American Pennies have some pretty significant differences. While both pennies were comprised of copper for most of their modern existence (more accurately, they were generally made of a bronze-like alloy, featuring a composition of mostly copper, mixed with zinc and tin), compositions varied over the years. In 1997, when the price of copper began to outstrip the value of the coin, the Canadian Mint experimented with cheaper alloys. Their first attempt was with copper plated zinc, but know issues with zinc toxicity led them to quickly change to a steel core, plated with copper and nickel in 2000. This means that, despite their coppery appearance, all Canadian pennies minted after the year 2000 are actually magnetic; in fact, all modern Canadian coinage is magnetic.
This compares starkly to American coins, which are normally made of copper, nickel, and zinc, and are usually not magnetic. One instance where this was not the case, was in 1943, when, during the peak of WWII, demands for copper for ammunition production was so high, the Americans minted a limited series of steel pennies instead of copper ones. Copper was in such high demand during this time, that spent bullets and cartridges were sometimes salvaged and re-cast in mints for their copper. As a result, some pennies from this era were found to be streaked with brass (another metal commonly used in munitions), and had darker finishes than normal.
In 1982, to combat the rising costs of copper, the US Mint decided to switch to a mostly zinc-based alloy for their pennies. This was a controversial decision, because zinc is actually very toxic in large amounts. Children and dogs have been known to swallow coins, and the amount of zinc present in an American penny is known to be potentially fatal to a small mammal.
Though Canada discontinued the penny in 2012, they are still technically legal tender; however, there are some caveats. First, technically, only pennies minted after 1982 are still legal tender; any retailer legally has the right to refuse a penny minted in 1981 or earlier. The second, is that you are not allowed to use more than 25 pennies in a single transaction, unless the retailer accepts this voluntarily.
Meanwhile back in America, the debate to eliminate the penny continues to this day; despite the worthlessness of the penny, despite the toxicity of the new zinc pennies, and despite the fact that even zinc pennies are still more expensive than they're worth (materials cost about half a penny, but manufacturing and shipping add up to being almost 2 cents per penny), they remain in circulation to this day.
Fun read. I use magnets to fish out canadian coins from the coin jar sometimes. Now I know why some aren't magnetic lol
didn't know Canada went through with it, that's interesting to know. the extra law that you can't use more than 25 at a time without permission is also very funny, it's literally illegal to force a cashier to stand there counting pennies
re. all canadian coins being magnetic, even before that change, the higher value coins were solid nickel since 1968 which was also magnetic [whereas US ones are sandwiched copper since 1965], and the 5 cent nickel was solid nickel since it was introduced in 1922 [whereas the US one is 75% copper]
You are largely correct but you misunderstand what legal tender means. No merchant is obligated to accept or not accept any form of currency. It would be entirely legal for me, a Canadian, to run a convenience store that only takes payment in beaver pelts and pre-1999 US quarters and not take Canadian currency at all. Or indeed whatever I felt like in the spur of the moment. So long as one is not discriminating against a protected class (eg by race or gender), they’re entitled to do business or not to business as they see fit. Though of course all transactions regardless of currency used are taxable in Canadian dollars so you’d better be able to put a value on those beaver pelts and know the correct exchange value to place on those quarters.
What legal tender means is that someone is obligated to accept the money in payment of a debt. If I offer cash to a bank, or a credit card company, or possibly even a restaurant or salon where you pay after rather than in advance, they’re required to accept it or void the debt. In that specific case, I can force my creditor to take payment of up to 25 pennies, 100 nickels, $10 in quarters or dimes, $25 in loonies ($1 coins), $40 in toonies ($2 coins) or $5 bills, and an unlimited amount in $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills.
Thank you money nerds, good information
I'm reminded of:
1. Stories where people would put coins on railroad tracks, wait for the train to pass, then collect the squished remains
2. Those machines in novelty gift shops that take a penny and squish it with an embossing of something notable. I got one with the USS Enterprise (refit) from Universal Studios once.
Nigel took the old "placing a coin on rail road tracks" to a whole new level
As entertaining and curiosity-sating as this is, please do be careful- something sliding and shooting out of the press could embed or ricochet with unpleasant consequences.
As always everyone, remember to respect the machine!
Agreed. I’m surprised they don’t have protective shielding around it.
Oh man... I thought my man Nigel was gonna make bread, peanut butter and jelly out of pennies...
I wouldn't even be surprised if he does
You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to end a hydraulic press video by squishing a very deadly and dangerous creature made of modeling clay.
Has our boy been hitting the gym?
BUFF NIGEL
A rare footage of the birth of the Canadian Press Channel
This is what we needed, Canadian hydraulic press channel...
Nigel finished his wood project and now he has no idea what to do with his hydraulic press and it's amazing
nile looks like he's been working out. 😎👍
Exactly my thought
That must be what he’s doing that makes his uploads so slow
1:12 yes, this is what the people want
Nigel just made a very rudimentary minting device. Love it.
Nile is getting swol. Someone needs to make one of those drawings where hes super buff like they did for walter white and vsauce with that sigma male music
🤣
I like how nigel is wearing a weird hat
Nilered with a beanie can't hurt you, he's not real

Subway has a new competitor in the market...
Try to pay with it.
Oh no, now that penny is worthless!
@@BPJJohn Do you live in Russia, China or Argentina? Other than those places and a small handful of others, the global economy is doing quite well.
What evidence do you base your claim of poor economic performance on? Inflation is about 2% annually (lower than Fed targets), unemployment is about 4% (meaning there are plenty of jobs), gas prices are down (though they will def rise again), food prices are down from last year, consumer spending remains strong, wages continue to grow (but not as fast for labor as for management) and domestic industry is growing.
Tell me what evidence you have. I suspect you have none and are just parroting FOX or OAN.
another 31 cents in the bin, he bankrupting the lab!
@@user-su3tj1uk2kcant wait for the nerd emoji’s from people online who would rather hurt people than grow up. Also could you provide me with your sources?
@@user-su3tj1uk2kNo I live in a Country that has a sense of Humor. ;)

I can't see it anymore... (TIME TO TAKE THIS TO ELEVEN!!!)
By destroying it as a currency, you've increased its monetary value.
I really wanted that actually, that's the real science!
'this is the most cutting edge science we've ever done' Goes on to squish coins.
Whoa! You surprised me 😅😊
I saw your new video in my Home Feed
I bet the sandwich is DELICIOUS
Yes this is what we want.
Nice of you to release the evidence for your summary conviction. ;P
After years of watching stuff expolde on HPC, I fear for this man
this is what we want
Thank you for the sandwich
pennies: why y'all are torturing us? we just want some respect
Now Nigel taste it for us.
Bro i immediately checked if this was nilegrean
That’s exactly what we want to see
Sanmich!!
penny-ni was right there
Reminds me of squishing pennies in my dads vice in tne garage
I agree, I want to more hydraulic squishing hahaha😂
1:12 this is exactly the content we want!
When the printed the queen on it it felt kind of illegal.
It is in the UK.
But can this be used to push the centre out of a toonie?

Nigel with a beanie is a great vibe
Breaking Red vibes
@@TheBlakus420that's a new one for me lmao
Never seen him with a black one before!
@@rosskrt Or you could say Nigel Pinkman
You need to build a quarter shrinker.
You could probably make some mokume gane with this technique, maybe apply heat and flux, use copper and zinc coins...
yum
I just built the hydraulic press last year and now I'm inclined to try and do this.
Crazy Canadians!
Yes Nigel has hydrolic press yes
Nile hood
How hot would these coins get during the pressing?
Been done! 😂
1:48
How NileRed pays his staff
Are we getting new 1h video any time soon?
Damascus money
you guys really need a sheet of plexiglass
bro didn't even squish it more than those penny presses you find at tourist attractions
That's inflation for you.
You're starting to figure it out.
yummy yum yum
"Wait. That’s illegal." - Church
that penny sandwich is dangerous and could attack any time
I think there might be something to a youtube channel that squishes things in a press.
Bet most people outside of Canada aren't aware we discontinued the penny in 2013
HPC, show how it is done.
Come on take the bite
Yummy ! Penny's sandwich
I foresee a bulletproof wood v2?
"It just feels all fake". Yep. Money is a construct.
A Nile red extra exurbia and cgp grey post in the same day what is this
Yummy in my tummy
When you are trusted with a hydraulic press and you can press anything but you wanted to waste your money and press your money to make a sandwich❤
Now pickle it.
Then you'll have a pressed & pickled panini penny sandwich!
What happens if you fold paper money until it's a really small square and then squish it
I want to see him try to buy something with it now lol
"It just feels all fake", heh, guess why.
Beanie Nilered😂
Nigel Pinkman?
Squish the 100$ and 1$ notes together.😮
forbidden sandwich ;-;
1:37 oh yeah, canada
Vin and Kelsier be like:
COPPER SANDWICH
This is indeed what the people want.
yumby
The penny sandwich is now $1.45 after inflation.
This really is what the people want.
0:19 why's it sounding like the sound from Psycho lol
Nomnomnom
I've gone to the zoo and done this kinda thing as well, so I'm a scientist.
Penny pancake panini
how does it smell?
He's lowkey swole now
If only society had created a way to smash pennies flat in a way that even a child could do, maybe as a souvenir or trinket to take home with you. I can't wait until they invent that so we don't have to use industrial machinery like this anymore.
say penny sandwich five times quickly
Cool
this is what the people want
