No, they didn't. Many companies took quarters and gold plated them and sold them in sets. They also did this with platinum. (no connection to the US Mints and they were hardly limited production)


I thought it was illegal for anyone other than the mint to modify currency?

It is only illegal to alter coins if the intent is to commit fraud.

Paper money is a different beast though.

The sales pitch of these hucksters and shysters is pretty close to fraud.
