But my problem was that I couldn't get the back on cause the coins in the frame were too thick. I might have to try a different backing or try taking out the thickest coins like the british pounds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175223805605113309.post-44344817286912896732012-10-27T15:31:05.636-07:002012-10-27T15:31:05.636-07:00I have heard of simular things like a tea/breakfas...I have heard of simular things like a tea/breakfast tray with a glass top also being done this way.

ALSO, to show more coins, and not have hidden ones behind the frame area, I think I will try using pennies, or maybe washers from the hardware store, if cheaper... so that more foreign coins show up...

They have all kinds, and I bet if you sandwiched the coins in between that and the frame backing, it would be plush enough for keeping everything in place, and would be a lovely option aside from the foam.
