Inexpensive Spur Of The Moment Smoker's Gift

I needed a gift for a friend who smokes. Being intrinsically parsimonious I made him something. The best part is that something is unique and couldn't be bought anywhere.

Step 1 Cleanlines Is next to super glueyness!

CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN every surface that is going to be glued. I washed the dollar first with dish washing liquid (no picture because I'm pretty sure everyone knows what dish washing liquid is, at least I hope so).
After washing thoroughly, I hit the coin with the metal polish to give it that fresh from the mint shine.
When the light reflecting off the coin hurt my eyes, I cleaned it with the acetone to get all the oils off. I had to clean it about 3 or 4 times before the cloth came away clean

Why do you say Smoker's gift? People who don't smoke use lighters, too.

My bad

Well, you don't have to smoke to have a lighter... You might just like fire.

Well yes, I forgot this IS Instructables, the home of the latent pyromaniac.

Yeah, and this is the perfect present for a pyro. Comes in any color you want as long as it's black.

[Phoghat]

Yes, I know the coin looks a little of center.

[chicks dig me]

still looks kool

I like it! Even though I don't smoke, and probably never will, this is a really creative and easy-to-do Instructable! You could use this on a whole variety of stuff.

Thanks Wasagi. I made this for a friend who has since passed on (non-smoking causes). His widow always tells me how much it meant to him.
