i used pennies, quarters, and dimes....i had very little play however, just in the sidebars....they would twist a little bit, about 1-2mm |

I went to Lowe's and got some aluminum flashing strips (in the roofing supplies section). I tried beer cans but the aluminum was curved, not very stiff and ripped easily. |
