Coinholing

''"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him." -Friedrich Nietzsche''

Coinholing, which was first described by Swedish Central Banker Georg Heinrich von Görtz (1668 – 19 February 1719), is the martial art of shoving pieces of currency into one's own belly button. There exists many categories of Coinholing recognized by The Federation of European Numismatic Trade Associations including but not limited to: Number-holing (Winner determined by quantity of coins held), Size-holing (Winner determined by size of largest coin held), and the rare Blood-holing (Winner determined by amount of blood drawn from hole stretching with coin). The current world record coinholer is twitch streamer and Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001) streamer Calisalley. Cali began his coinholing career with some mishaps but soon rose through the ranks winning first in the Southern Nevada Desert Basin tournament circuit and later the Western Regional Coinholing Association circuit. Cali continued breaking record after record until he reached a remarkable 15 coins, each one from a different country, an international victory that nearly rivaled the Paris Peace Treaties. Cali even took a short stint touring internationally where has was welcomed with much acclaim. Cali broke the world record in Number-holing by surpassing Tibetan master coinholer Tsarong Dazang Dramdul's record 34 coins in early 2021. Cali today continues to push records, with his current number-holing record being a whopping 36 coins and his current size-holing recording being a 500 Costa Rican Colones (33mm in diameter). He has not yet attempted Blood-holing.
