go to the hardware store. Buy a tube of krazy glue, and a 1/2 dowel, at least 6 inches long. Put the glue on the dowel end. don't use to much. put the dowel into the lighter end, until the dowel is snug against the coin. wait 30 seconds. Pull it out.

OK - maybe slugs passed off as money will work ... but, no current US coinage is ferrous.

A pen, and a bit of chewed chewing gum.

Stick the gum into the end of the pen, making sure it goes into the tube a bit. Use this to push into the cig lighter hole to stick to the coin. Pull it out. Am i the only one here who watched and learnt from McGyver?

sounds good until the gum comes off the pen and gets stuck under the socket... :thumbsdown:
