Our older coins have a lot of silver in them so they should be easier to cut, thanks for the suggestions

Thanks for the info Jim, as yet I am not ready to cut coins just gathering the info on them as I have a heap of obsolete coins, NZ decided to change the size of its currency several years ago and I kept a lot and made them into frig. magnets but the novelty  has worn off and can no longer sell them

Down under we call it mineral Turpentine or turps, used for thinning oil based paint and cleaning brushes, also for thinning oils, bees wax, the other is synthetic and I think is an aromatic thinners for lacquer paint and urethane's and some sealers
