- nitrogen 7y agoIn case anyone else couldn't tell from the image and didn't want to read all of the history: > An oddity of the design is that it depicts nineteen interlocking gears. Because there is an odd number of them, the mechanism could not actually turn.
- rezgi 7y agoThat's not the case for the two pounds though. In the coin's situation, it's because the three gears at the top are interlocked and jammed.
