20 years ago we had gold coins made into rings for the kids - one coin = 1 ring and a little extra for a stone in one and an initial in the other, as the kids were very young they outgrew them quickly but was quite a novelty.Back then didn't doubt they were made from the coins but one does wise up after a while. I still often get asked for coins to make a ring/bangle for the local's wife and get a big grin when I show doubt at their sincerity.
