coin unique.. giving me trouble

Postby adamnazzareth » Apr 16th, '08, 18:32



hello, quick question, i have just bought the coin unique, like an hour ago and cant seem to get them to unlock, is there a way to loosen them perhaps, the instructions provided are very poor so even perhaps some more in dept instructions is all i may need,

regards

try using another coin with an attractive property to unlock
some 1p and 2p coins(usually shiny ones) should be ok.

Did you get an Eddie Gibson one? These are by far the best and worth the bit extra. The instructions are good too.

I always use the technique given by Cbyron

Yes and if I remember the post-1992 coins are the most, erm, useful in this respect due to a handy added impurity.

In fact, when my coin unique is ready for a performance and not in it's little bag (which it should be all of the time. Don't learn the hard way), then I keep it next to one of these attractive little beauties so that I can locate it easily, by touch, amongst the other change in my pocket.

I hope that makes sense.
