I never realized that coin stacking was a sport, nor that people could create such intricate stacks. Some of these things really seem to defy gravity. But I see no reason to believe that any of the images aren't real. It reminds me of rock balancing, which I posted about last year. Check out some of the other coin stack pictures here.

Don't try it... you'll waste hours of your life in compulsive pointlessness.

It goes up fairly easily with a bit of super glue

Coin stacking is pretty easy..

Oh, someone's made the joke.. Anyway, there's plenty of utterly pointless activities out there... Oreo-stacking is one of the stranger ones.

Balancing stuff isn't actually that hard and is rather fun. I used to like to balance money and dice and rocks *looking at that page* Once while driving down the coast my family saw some stacked rocks and decided that would be neat, so ever since then we've been making our own stacks of rocks as we go from place to place^^ My little brother can't do a lot, but even he has gotten some nifty ones.
I'd test out the balancing of money, but I don't wanna go sift through all my change.
ps. with the dice thing, there's a trick to stacking up a ton of them if you keep an eye on the dots.

I love to stack coins and push them over, and there's allways that thing when you put a coin on your elbow and try to catch it. That's allways fun. (Actally no sarcasm there)
