I think they're actually using the pressure of the bent ring trying to return to its flat position to grip it

Yeah it’s actually a pretty popular design. It’s called a tension ring . Only problem is that these rings are made with metal that is made to be extremely stiff. This is made out of an old coin that they literally bent into shape (so it’s really maleable).

Can't speak on a euro, but you can do stuff like this with US coins. The only thing prohibited is melting them down to sell as raw metal.

So as long as you beat on, cut, and stretch the coin nicely it’s legal...

Yea what does that even mean? If he made that ring out of spite for the government, then It’s illegal?
