The Quarter Shrinker - я перевел как "отжимание сжимание монет", хотя можно использовать термин "высоковольтный шринкинг", наверное. Научнее "Электромагнитное формование" (Electromagnetic forming, EMF).
Молодецкая забава популярная в штатах. Взрослые люди стоят "разрядные машины" и при пропускании через медную катушку сильноточного импульса получают электромагнитное поле, которое значительно уменьшает радиус монеты расположенной внутри катушки.
Существует довольно много сайтов с информацией по технологии "высоковольтного шринкинга". Например вот такой http://teslamania.delete.org/frames/shrinker.html
