I Flattened my own Coins

We decided to put coins on a railroad track to have a train flatten them. I was a little scared at first to put my hand on the train tracks, but my Dad told me it's no big deal.






We put the coins on the track near this bridge. I like how they made this bridge.






Here is a picture of the coins on the track. We put more than one in case we couldn't find them all. These are the five that I put on the tracks, and my brother also put five.







We came back the next day, and we could only find eight flattened coins. We couldn't find two of them. Here are two dimes that were flattened by the train next to a normal dime.

  1. Hi, Ellen,
    That's really interesting how those coins were flattened. I thought if you flattened a dime, you would get a quarter; but I guess that's kind of silly :-)

    I like that bridge too. Did you get any pictures of the Train?
    Love Ya!!!!!
