Spare Change in Potential

I don't know what about you, but I have a box I keep my change in. I've bene thinking for a while what I can do with that change - buy a boat, rent a jetski, get a trip on those cool X-Planes that go up to space, etc etc. Big plans for small money, I know, but.. I'll keep on dreaming.

Now, though, you too have something to do with your extra nickels and pennies you keep safe for future plans: You can do science with them! Yay!

Any chance I can get you to marry me?

Now, a real comment on the video. Considering coin money is being made with less and less semi-precious minerals/elements, how does this effect the production of current? I would assume it's output would be highly unstable and erratic.

I think this sums up how to deal with 'failure':

The story of Edison's lightbulb says he failed 1000 times before having success.

When asked about it, Edison allegedly said, "I have not failed 1,000 times. I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb."
