Have you touched real Roman concrete?? Shit is more brittle than a high school relationship. Seriously, it's lighter than than standard concrete (high lime(stone) content?) and partly because of that I think so much easier to break. A 2" piece of concrete you can just barely not break with you fingers world be like a chocolate chip cookie to break if it was made by the ancient Romans. Just sayin

I was thinking he was going to cast the coins in acrylic or something, but he just used them for their aluminum content, he could have used beer cans or anything.

10:26 Well said. For the comment section: the reason you add acid to water and not water to the acid is that the reaction generates enough heat that if you have just a bit of water (say, the very first drops) in a lot of acid, that bit of water BOILS instantly, the steam sending concentrated acid everywhere - while the first drops of acid falling on a lot of water won't boil all of it at once. (Bit of science trivia because safety first, last and always, and I don't care being called pedantic if that means saving someone form a nasty burn - and I mean the real burns, not the internet ones!)
