cldague Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 9:12 pm Here is something you don't see every day. This is stuck to the 1963 penny I found and it has Hank Jones on the top who was a great Jazz pianist in the fifty's. I can't read the smaller stuff on it. Can you make anything else out. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

adklady New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 01/14/2018 5:25 pm I recently acquired a similar 1969 penny with a "THANK YOU FROM DEER'S HEAD INN ELIZABETHTOWN NY" sticker on the back. I grew up in the area and have frequented the Inn over the years. I hope you get to visit the historical, now restored establishment. Perhaps we can convince them to start tagging their pennies again. Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 10:28 am Quote: The law forbids attaching advertising to coins. It doesn't use the term "attaching". 18 USC 475 states: [W]hoever . . . writes, prints, or otherwise impresses upon . . . any [coin or currency] of the United States, any business or professional card, notice, or advertisement, or any notice or advertisement whatever, shall be fined under this title. [Emphasis added] A sticker is not writing on the coin. A sticker is not printing on the coin. So is a sticker "otherwise impressing"? A sticker is not permanent and may be removed. I would think a sticker would be allowed. I am guessing "impressing" would mean stamping the advertisement into the coin, like with a punch. But I am not a lawyer or person charged with enforcing this statute. Edited by nss-52 01/15/2018 10:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 11:43 am Impress. "4. to press (a thing) into or on something." You press a sticker onto the coin. It is impressed.

"the authorities" have better things to do than prosecute for putting stickers on coins that shouldn't even be in circulation in the first place. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 5:04 pm When a movie studio put stickers on quarters to adverise the Fantastic Four Silver Surfer movie the government stepped in and put a stop to it under that law. So I would say they consider stickers to be "impressing" advertising. Report this Post to the Staff
