I thought it's illegal to temper with the federal government's property, in this case a coin. Isn't that true in the US as well?

kvasir,
It is illegal if your doing it for deseption or gain.
There is a thread on here that explains it better.

No they aren't....they sell it as a "fake" but if you take it and try to spend it YOU will be the one in jail!

on topic: i think you might have seriously come across a junk law. i dont think you can get incarcerated for a fraud coin so long as its not for deception.

I liked that article on how they are made. I've got a few of them. A freind of mine has the quarter one but won't sell it to me. Actually I've used my 2 headed Nickel to commit a crime. At work many times we flip for who buys coffee. I usually offer to supply the coin and call heads. Think the coffee police will come get me?
For real those dumb things are going up in cost. Now a two heaaded nickel goes for about $10. Got mine for $2 and it paid for itself many times over.

Too bad there wasn't a copy of the original posters information since the link is now defunct.
