livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2213 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 09:15 am The US Mint wants to end mutilated coins exchange partly due to foreigners sending in fakes. Wow, seems like even mutilated coins are faked. https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...eks-comments Edited by livingwater 05/13/2024 09:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 3:43 pm Good Article. IMHO, the mint made the right move. The whole thing seems to be a waste of taxpayer $ if they have to sort out the counterfeits. Thank you for sharing, Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 7:51 pm Unlike many other countries, banks in the US are not obligated to redeem, accept or exchange mutilated coins. This means that once the Mint's program is formally cancelled, no avenue of redemption will be available and a bent or mutilated coin would only be worth scrap metal value. 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 Report this Post to the Staff
