Q&A

Is there a material or method to allow "swimmable" coins?

+0
−0

I want to know whether there is a way to make coins that are "swimmable" in the fashion of Scrooge McDuck.

My inquiry is based off this Family Guy meme from Pinterest enter image description here

The coins don't necessarily have elaborate images or designs on them, they can just be plain tiny round disks.

I considered metals that melt when heated to body temperature (like gallium) but since that would not return to a coin shape after melting, it isn't an acceptable solution. I want the material to maintain the coin shape or at least reform back naturally when something passes through, this include not merging/sticking together with other coins.

Paper is also out of the question; I want it to be coinage, so substituted measures of value like salt, chocolate, etc. don't qualify, unless they can be turn into coins. They have to hold their shape when not being swum through, so jelly or similar materials are also out.

rubber, sponge, or similar materials are also out.

I also don't want the ability to swim through coins to be intrinsic to the swimmer or their clothing (some sort of field that makes coins permeable on contact or a similar device).

Is there a material or method to achieve what I describe?
