[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 1048477, member: 4910"]Ronald Lee Foster is about to get his fifteen minutes of fame. President Obama granted pardons to several people today, including Ronald Lee Foster of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, who was sentenced in 1963 to one year of probation and received a $20 fine for the mutilation of coins. I looked but can not find out anything about what he did to coins. I wonder if he is the first person to produce the infamous "Lincoln looks at Kennedy" pennies? There was a guy back in the 1960's who used a machine to shave pennies to the size of dimes and passed them in vending machines. Now what is "mutilation of coins" and what did this guy do? :)[/QUOTE]
