THEODORE'S THICK COIN MINT

How did I miss this one - a mint I wasn't aware of. Here's the backstory of Theodore's Thick Coins, excerpted from its delightfully old-fashioned web page. -Editor

Theodore Nichols Hello this is Theodore Nichols and welcome to my world wide web page.

Nickels are too thin we need a much heftier coin. That is why I am making thicker coins in my new minting facility.

Some burglars recently entered my garage to pilfer my things. The only weapon nearby was a bag of nickels, which I brandished at the ruffians.

The burglars laughed at me about the slight bag of coins. They did not respect me or fear my purse.

They stole the nickels and my best push broom. I have never felt so humiliated.

That's when I resolved to NEVER be disrespected about my pocketchange again.

My new coins have a much meatier handfeel when compared to currency from the U.S. Mint.

The enhanced weight is both satisfying to good guys and threatening to bad guys.

  thnickel size comparison

You can see in the photograph above how pathetically thin a regular "nickel" is between my fingers.

The "thnickel" is substantial and solid, there is much more coin per coin.

I have converted my garage into a mint. I am dedicated to producing enough thnickels for everyone in need of respect.

  Theo's thick coin mint

My new state of some art facility is equipped with several tools and a powerful workhorse (me)!
