we used to put Lincoln Cents on the train tracks to get them elongated all the time when I was a kid. The train tracks was just across one street so we would walk over there all the time and have to walk the tracks looking for our coins we had placed on the tracks before the train came by

There was a post here somewhere about all the ways people mangled, distroyed, ruined coins. Think I put in about 10 things we used to do to them. YES, RR tracks were something that just had to be done by kids everywhere.

Willfully altering coins to make them look like something else that is more valuable is against Federal law (USC Title 18, P.I, Ch. 17 Sec. 331) regardless of who is doing it or for what purpose.

AAHHHHHHhhh yes, that law. And as kids of about 6 to 12 we all read those laws carefully.
Sure wonder how many times the Coin Police tried to catch kids of that age for that massive crime.
Come Coppercoins. Kids will be kids and they just don't think about stuff like laws about coins.
