Pennies !

Over time I've found out that stamping pennies with the CBF gets one of two reactions.

People love it or hate it !

People that love it often ask for one and I'll send them one.

People that hate it accuse me of criminal activity !

One hater / Valentine Leiker / went off on me on Face Book -

David Tatum; Run away, run away. It is against the law to deface United States coins, section 331 of title 18. There are criminal penalties.

Well he edited his comment, it actually reads --

Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who ‘fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.

 This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent. (Source U.S. Mint)

And you can go to Disney World and do this --

So Mr Valentine tough crunchies no fraudulent intent on my part.

( And Monica would like her Beret back !)
