Question by Dear Waffles: Is it possible to etch a design using the tip of a nail or screw?

Is it possible to etch a celtic knot design into a quarter that I smushed on the train tracks using the tip of a nail or screw? I know it’s stupid sounding but it’s cheap and I’m broke.

you could try, you’d end up with a pretty sore finger though.

they sell intaglio tools at art supply store for fairly cheap.
they’re very sharp tools made especially for engraving on hard surfaces.
