The waves make it micro
chetradley, None of these are quite as bad as the 4chan post telling people to make mustard gas.
ChaoticNeutralCzech, Does the metal sublimate or does the mini coin have 50 times the density? Is this how black holes are made? /s
Cjwii, If you stick the mini one in an electrical socket, it’ll make it grow again
Luke_Fartnocker, Unzips
vrighter, but only if you push it in with your bare finger
Resol, 
How to start a fire in the wilderness with only a power generator, a microwave and a coin:
ArmokGoB,
Fogle, Thinking quickly Dave constructs a homemade megaphone using only some string a squirrel and a megaphone
ArmokGoB, We need a TQDC community.
mjhelto, This works only if you are trying to do it secretly. Go gender reveal party or go home!
Resol, You can do a gender reveal party in the wilderness… and end up blowing up everyone in the worst way possible, all with a coin.
agent_flounder, 
I feel like there might be a simpler way but what the hell, lock and load!
Resol, There are simpler ways. But they’re boring.
Spaghetti_Hitchens, In the age of receiving CDs in the mail (like AOL), we would microwave them for 10 seconds to make coasters. The arcing would make neat designs in the CD
Luke_Fartnocker, And fun to watch, too
jarfil, In the age after total disregard for personal data, and the advent of personal data regulations, we’d burn tons of backup CDs like that.
Swedneck, 
fwiw i’m pretty sure you can still get CDs for pretty damn cheap, so this is totally still doable and hell might even be a little side business
ChaoticNeutralCzech, There’s lots of discarded ones if you know where to look
Amilo1591, A coin cannot cause this much damage to a microwave in 1 minute.
Luke_Fartnocker, My ex-wife could, though.
xusontha, I think compacting any adult person into a size small enough to fit into a microwave would do that much damage in one minute
x4740N, 
Unless Amillo1951’s ex wife was already small enough to fit in the microwave
agent_flounder, Keep going. I don’t think you completely ruined the joke yet.
bastian_5, Idk if anything would actually happen. There’s nowhere for it to arc, so it would just bounce around
Earthwormjim91, Nothing would happen because of the coin, no. But microwaving an empty microwave can seriously damage it because there’s nothing to absorb the microwaves. You can burn out the magnetron.
A fire is possible but unlikely.
SpruceBringsteen, An empty bag of chips for 6 seconds was always good fun.
glitch1985, We used to do this at school and make Keychains.
DavidGarcia,
Aggravationstation, God damn, Nigella Lawson
Chais, 
Damn, people are stupid.
samus12345, 
Indeed, but I seriously doubt that damage was caused by trying to microwave a penny.
ares35, 
at least i think they've quit microwaving their iphones
