Hate to pop your bubble, but while not an offence, it is considered very bad form. OTOH I did witness a drunker genius sitting in a bar amusing himself by burning the eyes out of the kings image on B20 notes. Presumably the bar staff rang them, because the BIB appeared and he was led away in handcuffs. Reportedly deported.

gandalf12 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 This idiot needs a long time in jail. Doesn't he realise a train goung over coins on the track could derail it? There again he is American and a bloody moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats actually more feasible Wet leaves can have an impact on signalling nothing mechanical, Stopping is not derailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The largest gold coin weighs 1,012 kg (2,231 lb 1.24 oz), measures 80 cm (2 ft 7.49 in) in diameter, 13 cm (5.12 in) in thickness and is made from bullion with a purity of 99.99 per cent. The legal-tender coin was introduced on 9 February 2012 by the Perth Mint (Australia), with a face value of AUS$1 million (US$992,849.80; £623,930.51). The coin, called the "1 Tonne Australian Kangaroo" features a Kangaroo and was created to promote Australia's official Kangaroo Gold Bullion Coin series. (Guiness World Records).

Probably because it happens frequently. It did happen to me several years ago with a 20 baht note, I trapped it with my foot and got a friendly but very stern reprimand from a couple of locals I was with.

rooster59 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 YouTube celebrity’s coin prank video goes off the tracks By THE NATION YOUTUBE prankster and social media celebrity Nate Bartling, better known as My Mate Nate, continues to court controversy. After he previously organised, recorded and posted a fight between his own cat and a scorpion, cat lovers sought police action against him, alleging animal cruelty. More than 120,000 people signed a petition to have him arrested. This time he has turned to train tracks and currency. In his latest video, he and a friend are seen on a railway track, saying they want to test the strength of coins to find out which country’s coins are the strongest. Viewers see him placing coins in rows along the tracks and waiting for a train. They stepped back from the tracks when the train came and after it passed they picked up the flattened coins that left some marks on the track. When the video was posted, it attracted mostly negative opinions. Some criticised him for searching for fame or having nothing to do. Among them was a Facebook user under the name of “Team Nang Rod Fai Kub Nai Hammun” who warned that coins on a railway track could possibly lead to derailing of a train. A large number of Facebook users shared the post and Bartling responded by citing a scientific study to support his claim that coins could not lead to a derailment. Bartling was adamant that his experiment was harmless while Team Nang Rod Fai Kub Nai Hammun stood by his comment. However, Bartling said he agreed to delete the video and the page host said it also agreed to delete the statements. Its admin team said it talked to the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) and agreed that SRT would be the only party making a statement on the coin testing issue. The situation seemed to end happily until SRT deputy governor Thanongsak Pongprasert gave an interview in which he said that Bartling’s acts broke the Railway Act and would be punishable in civil and criminal courts. “Although placing coins on railway tracks did not cause any damage to a train, it would probably lead to copy-cat behaviour that could lead to an accident. “I already assigned the train police bureau to study the video clip to determine where the incident happened. Those in the clip will be summonsed for questioning and face legal action.” Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/national/30320798 -- © Copyright The Nation 2017-07-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
