<p>[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 7805303, member: 94733"]I don't believe that "defacing a coin" is the same as "using a coin as a surface for art," which is what I would label Brent's work as. Artists all over the world, for thousands of years, have used different surfaces for their art. Hobo's used what was easily available and small enough to carry around, which happened to be a nickel, and we have "labeled" them as "Hobo Nickels" which is now a generic term.
