<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Texas John, post: 1041072, member: 25813&quot;]If I recall, the law in general doesn&#039;t prohibit mutilating coins, absent the intent to defraud, with a few exceptions. One is when the intent is to advertise (i. e., you mark a coin with a company name or, as in this case, a recognizable social/political statement, and return it to circulation). Another is when the government decides the coinage is threatened, as when the prices of nickel is high enough that it&#039;s worthwhile to acquire and melt large numbers of&nbsp; five-cent pieces. Such a ruling occurred last year, I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
