People destroying perfectly good coins for their projects... http://www.etsy.com/listing/1284761...y&ga_ship_to=US&ga_page=18&ga_search_type=all
I have a little button somewhere that is made from an 1897 IHC that I actually wear occasionally as a button cover. Contemporary crafts made from contemporary era coins are actually cool IMHO. I also collect potty coins. Don't ask me to post them here, June says no.
