To Do with Coins

Give Your Carpet a Lift
When you move a chair, couch, table or bed, you can’t help noticing the deep indentations in your carpet made by the legs. To fluff the carpet up again, simply hold a coin on its edge and scrape it against the flattened pile. If that doesn’t pop it back up, hold a steam iron about five centimetres above the affected spot. When the area is damp, try fluffing again with the coin.
Keep Cut Flowers Fresh
Your posies and other cut flowers will stay fresh longer if you add an old copper penny and a cube of sugar to the vase water.
Test Tire Tread
Let the head tell you if it’s time to replace the tires on your car. Insert a five-cent piece into the tread. If you can’t cover the top of the head inside the tread, it’s time to head for the tire shop. Check your tires regularly and you will avoid the danger and inconvenience of a flat tire on a busy road.
Hang Doors Perfectly
Next time you hang an entry door, five-and-ten it to ensure proper clearance between the outside of the door and the inside of the frame. When the door is closed, the gap at the top should be the thickness of a five-cent piece, and the gap at the sides should be that of a 10-cent piece. If you do it properly, you will keep the door from binding and it won’t let in draughts.
