<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1071907, member: 66"]As mentioned defacing coinage is legal if there is no fraudulent intent. The same is NOT true with the US currency. Defacing currency in such a way as to render it unfit to be reissued is illegal period. It doesn't matter whether there is fraudulent intent or not. (Frankly though, everyday use will eventually render it unfit to be reissued, so if you take it to the absurd extreme, using currency is illegal.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
