I actually works by the same basic principles that are used for 
inductive heating. Here in somewhat general terms:

Huge electrical current in a coil surrounding the coin. That current 
essentially makes an electromagnet of the coin. At the same time, the 
changing magnetic field creates current within the coin. (kinda like a 
generator).

That current also creates a magnetic field, but this field pushes hard 
against the one in the coil. The field is so strong, it crushes the coin.

I wonder if we could make a hammer from the electromagnetic force. 
Inducting heating, inductive/electromagnetic field no-contact hammer. No 
fire, no smoke, no noise. Heck, no one would want to be a blacksmith 
anymore.
