Hello, my name is Tyler, and I'm your Puzzle Master Insider.
Today, I'll be giving you an inside look at Jean Claude Constantin's Twenty Cent Box.
This puzzle is a favorite of Puzzle Master founder, Allan Stein,
who, I will be inviting in later to show you the solution.
The Twenty Cent Box is a wood puzzle that consists of a laser-cut wooden box
that is held together by four metal bolts,
a laser-cut key
that fits into the slot in the front of the box,
and a coin contained within the box.
Designer and manufacturer, Jean Claude Constantin
lives in Germany where he designs and manufactures many different wood and
metal puzzles, as well as magic tricks.
You will find a link in the description to the many other Constantin puzzles on the Puzzle Master website.
There are a number of other puzzles available on PuzzleMaster.CA, that like
the Twenty Cent Box, contained coins.
This includes the following:
Euro-Falle 01-06, and Euro Crisis from Siebenstein Spiele,
The Magic Coin Box from Puzzle Master,
4 Steps Visible Lock,
Ladybird and Larva from Robrecht,
Yot from Hi-Q,
all of the Hanayama chess pieces,
Wooden Nickels from Creative Craft House,
and Centrale from Jean Claude Constantin.
The Twenty Cent Box is a level 8 on Puzzle Master Rating Scale, which runs from 5 to 10.
Next, I will invite Puzzle Master founder, Allan Stein, to show you the solution.

Okay, so here we have the Twenty Cent Box.
It's quite a unique, small, compact box.
There's a key in the front that you need to use to be able to solve.
There's also a coin that rattles inside.
If you maneuver the coin so that it's on
its side and move to the back of the box,
and use this key to push it down.
It pushes the bottom of the box out, so the coin will come out.
So there you have the solution of the Twenty Cent Box and resetting the box is fairly straight forward.
Put the coin back in. There's that little lip here,
it will go into the slot in here and the magnets will click back in place,
and you put the key back in the front for the next person.
The Twenty Cent Box is available at PuzzleMaster.CA.
That wraps up today's video.

Thank you for watching and I hope that you have a very puzzling week.
Resetting the box is fairly straightforward.
You take the bottom of the box,
put it back in the notch
and the magnets will click it back in place and why do they do that?
I was just gonna say--
I'll cut that one.
I knew it right away right away, soon as it clicked that's-- you'll have to do a little bit of editing.
