<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brent hobonickel, post: 5178975, member: 109300&quot;]It&#039;s always impressive when you hear US Code brought up! For the record I don&#039;t want to go to jail or have the United States Secret Service showing up!! Before I started carving coins I actually called the Secret Service and and a really nice conversation with a Secret Service agent. He said that carving coins is not illigal. Penny rolling machines are not illigal. Love tokens are not illigal and they were used in the place of greeting cards at one point in US history. </p><p>&nbsp;It is illigal to take a quarter and change it into a ten dollar coin. And it&#039;s interesting that paper money is protected and you can&#039;t cut it up.ans make art with it. But you can use shredded money that was shredded by the treasury.</p><p>&nbsp;If carving coins was illigal I would personally not do it.</p><p>&nbsp;The US Mint gift shops in Philadelphia and Denver sell my hobo nickels. Everyone there is really awesome and it&#039;s really an honour that they carry my work. Every year I donate hobo nickels to the ANA also. This year I am sending 25 hobo nickels[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
