jbuck Moderator United States 189340 Posts	Posted 05/02/2015 01:37 am No, it is not. You missed the key word: fraudulently. Unless they attempt to pass them off as something that they are not, no fraud is committed. Altering a one dollar coin like this example here is not fraud, but altering it and attempting to pass it off at ten dollars is.

It takes a lot of time and patience, which means I will never do it. I would be making rings out of walkers before I could handle the skill this takes. Report this Post to the Staff
