Coins Dancing on Dry Ice

The Crazy Russian Hacker is back with something you’d never think of doing on your own: sticking coins into a block of dry ice. Watch as George Washington starts to shiver from the cold!

What is happening is the heat that the coins retain causes the frozen carbon dioxide to melt, and it goes from a solid directly to a vapor (that’s why it called dry ice- because it skips the liquid state). This reaction causes the coins to shake and shimmy under the pressure. So now you know a parlor trick to whip out when you have some dry I’ve leftover from another stunt.  (via Viral Viral Videos)
