Nod2003, no it's not illegal:
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.

I realise it's been covered in previous threads, but right now, melting 1¢ and 5¢ coins is in fact illegal. Section 5551(d) Title 18 of the USC gives the Secretary of the Treasury the right "to prohibit or limit the exportation, melting, or treatment of United States coins when the Secretary decides the prohibition or limitation is necessary to protect the coinage of the United States." This law was activated briefly back in the 1960's to try to prevent melting of silver coins. Since December 2006 (and renewed in April 2007) it has been in force for 1¢ and 5¢ coins. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

hey guys I've built about 5 different versions of a penny sorter. My latest sorter will sort copper from zinc and silver from clad in any denomination. I have yet to put its potential to use as I dont have thousands of dollars to run through it. I will say it will go through a box of halves in under 10 min and not miss a single silver. As far as copper cents goes I have built ones very cheap that are tricky to use. Ones that are slightly more expensive but the best bang for the buck. Or ones that will last forever but cost several hundred in parts alone. I think the later is what most people can find online and can't justify to spend that much money. It is truly a game of you get what you pay for. That being said I am currious of what would you pay for a sorter ?

Now I remember reading an article in Coin World a couple of months ago that said it was illegal to melt copper pennies. |
