This Wooden Nickel is 13 feet 4 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches thick.
That is about 108 times the diameter of a standard Wooden Nickel
It is solid wood, made from 6x6 lumber, and weighs about 2,500 pounds
That is enough wood to make about 400,000 standard Wooden Nickels.
(Enough wood for about 3 weeks of our Wooden Nickel production)
