Actually, coins have less "available" surface area.
The edge is like a hundred pointy lightning rods.
Watch and see where oxide deposits form the thickest and what goes away
the fastest....you'll get the idea.
A hemispherical or hemi-cylindrical shape pushes the centers closer
together as the edges stay further back "utilizing" far more surface area.
Modern electroplating electrodes are *D* shaped for that reason.
[hemi-cylindrical ] and the bottom corners and lower curved edge still gets
rounded trying to go spherical.
On both wire and flat strips, corner/tip discharge over concentration can
be compensated for by bending the tips away from each other a bit.

I think the wires are easier to work with than coins, although the coins
would have more surface area, so might be better because of that. And
yes, for sure you want to prevent the alligator clips from touching the
water. You don't want any of their material to get into you. It might be
interesting to drill a hole in the coin and hold it with a silver wire,
but ... hate to waste the silver in the hole...
Also, I don't know the purity of coins. Supposedly 999 is ok, but I
personally prefer 9999, which you can definitely get in the wire.
there are places that make silver strips and sheets too. I forget where
they are.

How would you suspend the coins in the water? The alligator clips should
not touch the water, right? I haven't a clue. A photo would surely be
helpful. :-)
I have silver strips and have been wondering where I could get new ones
without going to the place where I bought the generator. Any ideas on who
else might have some for sale? I could probably just switch over to the
wires, but which should I get? 10 or 12 gauge? I realize these are
elemental questions, but I'm asking them anyway :-)

I dunno too much about the prices on silver wire. I've been kind of
looking around and thinking of making with the wire as someone told me
there is more contact or something. But for now using coins is much
cheaper. They last a long time too. The person who first told me about
making CS said they'd probably last me forever. Not sure what it takes
to wear them down. Does anyone know any drawbacks to using the silver coins?
Thanks, Gary

That price -- $36/oz is for 99.99 % pure silver, not the more common (and
cheaper) 99.9% pure.
At ccsilver, they say their 99.9% is $31/oz, but they don't give a price
directly for 99.99%. Converting from length to oz, it looks to me like
ccsilver's 99.99% is around $37, so they are comparable.
Are there cheaper places?

Wow. Silver is at $17 an ounce right now.....This site wants $36....
I use silver bouillon coins .999 you can usually get them a couple
dollars over going rate. Of course you have to be set up with alligator
clips. Anyway, just wanted to point that out. Maybe there is more
involved with making silver wire than minting coins, but that seems awful
high. I guess too they don't want to hassle with adjusting prices with
silver market.
