Hey. I recorded a video tutorial about making magnetic stands for paper miniatures. You need cheap magnetic foil and 1inch metal washers. The bases are easily removable. I use this method for my miniatutes and it works fine. In case of problems showing the video, direct link is here: youtu.be/Zvd7R66xF5o |

I like the idea. I'll have to check whether Euro-cents are magnetic. Since I switch to 15 mm scale, a 1 or 2 cent coin might be just the right size for a base...

Guys, I don't have access neither to cents nor eurocents. But small yellow polish coins magnetize, larger silver don't.

Euro-cents are coppery, and magnetic...  |

Euro-cents are coppery, and magnetic... The smallest coin we have here is the Five (Euro)cent and anyway, hardly anyone here (in Finland) uses cash anymore... I think steel washers would be more economic (and easy to get!) |

I think steel washers would be more economic (and easy to get!) Here in Germany, we still have funky prices like 4.95 € or 4.99 €, etc. So you can imagine that grocery shopping more than often end in totals like 16.76 €, and such. So, I have various pots of smallest coinage, and I rather regularly use 1 and 2 cent coins as stabilizers for tiny minibases. So far, I glued them under the minis, but that means I can no longer store them flat. However, withis neat magnetic trick, this will be no longer a problem... |

Oh, we have all that. But, if you pay by cash, if it's 1 or 2, or 6 or 7, they round down, 3 or 4, or 8or 9, they round up. For card payments, you pay the exact amount. I once offered a cashier an Irish 1-cent coin, when the price ended in 6-cents, but she looked at it dubiously, rounded down to five and gave it back to me.
