    Supervisor teased me some, but knew I liked that machine.
    "How you gettin' along with the King?" Aaa just fine Roy, I carry 90 dollars in my pocket...He looked puzzled You know, rolls of dimes!
    $90.00 in dimes is only around 4.5 lbs the same is true for quarters and half dollars unless you were talking about pre 1965 coins then you could add about a half pound in round numbers
    But nickels would be 19.8 lbs
    $90.0 in pennies would rip your pockets weighing in at 49.6 lbs
    Interestingly enough using a roll of coins in your fist to increase your punch a roll of dollar coins add the most weight a roll of half dollars are too large in diameter for most fists maybe not mine but most. A roll of dollar coins the Susan B size that is weighs .893 lbs. but if it breaks you are out 50 bucks.
    Quarters will yield and additional half pound of weight to add to your kinetic force
    Nickels would be my coinage of choice still large enough in diameter to reasonably fill most fists and will weigh in at .441 lbs. not a lot less than quarters but only 2 bucks lost when you have to toss them
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
