THE EASIEST FAKE-OUT PENNY

THE EASIEST FAKE-OUT PENNY
I was painting a small box silver
and decided to paint a penny silver.
I faked out my gullible friends lots
of times . I made about 25 but I would
never use it at the candy store . I told my
friends to shut up and listen when I was
telling them about the difference between
a PENNY and a DIME,then ,I did not
know but while I was talking one of them
was holding one of my fake-out pennies
they then yelled"OMG WHAT THE FREAK IS
THIS???"I just started laughing terribly
and I got in trouble hope that the TROUBLE
part does not hit you.

Step 1PAINT!!!

PAINT!!!
You will need 1 penny,
a silver or shiny white
nail polish, and if you
want you could do a top
coat. I used "BON BONS"
for the white shiny polish
and I used "LOVE YOUR NAILS"
for the top coat.And then
I just took a penny from my
brother.

Hello, and welcome to the Instructables community! It's great that you've decided to tell the world about something you've made by publishing an Instructable. We just wanted to let you know that your project still needs a little more work if you want it to be well received on Instructables. Projects that don't include certain basic elements tend not to get the attention that they deserve, and so we'd love for you to check out the list below of what makes a successful Instructable. Successful projects on Instructables include: - clearly written details of a finished project with instruction - as many steps as are necessary to explain your project - clear images that you took of your project for most, if not all of your steps - an intro image - proper spelling and grammar - appropriate cautions or safety considerations I'll give you another opportunity to make any final changes to your project before we publish it. Once you're all set to go, please republish your project and send me a quick comment letting me know that you've made some changes. I'll give it a quick final check to make sure you're on the right path, and then remove this note. Thanks for your submission and we hope to see your project published soon!

This is a great Instructable, but you need to add a main image of the final project to the intro step. Please do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks!

Cool, it looks a lot like a 1943 Steel Penny. +5/5 stars.

There are pastes that will, with I bit of work rubbing it in, plate the penny with real silver :-)
Aug 7, 2008. 6:42 AMGoodhart says:
A warning though: the pastes and chemicals that do this are HIGHLY TOXIC and should not be handled, except by an adult who can follow instructions (like never touching the compound without gloves on, etc).
