Default DIY showerhead flow restrictor

I noticed the post last month about Automatic Hot Water Reduction to
Control Long Showers. I just want to reduce the flow to one shower,
but use the same head as in the other bathroom. The Google search
show ridiculous prices for a plastic disk with a hole drilled in it.

Would a hardware or plumbing store have a blank 1/2" plastic disk I
could drill myself? 1.5 gpm is still too much.

Would an electrical knockout plug work? You'd probably have to
trim it but that wouldn't be too difficult. Another thought would be
to use a nickel or quarter.
