A bro showed me his grandfathers nickel and penny scale. Never have seen one. Have you?

 

[buellbrewer]

nope! cool though.

Interesting for sure

Cool, but easy to see why they went out of business ........... one nickel or 5 pennies short every time !

I still weigh coins rather than counting. I have to separate 1982 and older pennies from the later zinc pennies though as the weights are about 20% different.

That sounds just like counting pennies but with more steps.
