One Cent Mod
http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r...onecentmod.jpg
I used a penny to make a cover for the door key hole! I mixed a small amount of resin and put enough on the coin to make a nice rounded shape, and then painted it the body color. On the back side I beveled the edge slightly for a better fit and then attached a small magnet with 3M double stick tape. I have used it for about four months and have been very satisfied with the look. What do you think of my cheapie mod?

You're right on about the small photo, but I'll have to figure out why it was so small. Here is another photo of the finished penny which should be large enough to see. Sorry about the small photo.
