I don't do crafts as I'm not crafty enough and it depends on what you call a tub full. Are you any good at carpenterering? I was thinking of a little stand say 18" x 18" with some wrought iron legs to use as a plant stand, and topped with stuck-on thripny bits, then a glass top.

When I lived in Germany we could buy things like that except the tops were tiled in various designs. Really lovely, they were.

The tub is a, size of a butter dish so. not a lot so. what i was thinking was, I've seen videos of people making rings, ( that go on fingers } by punching out the middle and forming the ring showing the date and the era of the coin but yea, you have given food for thought with your suggestion so, thank you

It does depend on how many you have, but maybe you could make a couple of rings, and bracelets to go with them. They could only really be worn by a man though as they'd be a bit heavy for a lady.

Tom, you could make yourself a knuckle-duster with them!
