mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 07/30/2011 01:13 am I wonder if the person woke up one morning and said, "Hey, I think I'm going to make tools out of coins today." Don't know why, but they do look cool. Report this Post to the Staff

Bravo and Kudos to the artist. Glenn Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/30/2011 09:29 am Nice. I wonder if he destroyed (for art's sake) any rarities? Nah!! They were probably searched bags. KK Report this Post to the Staff
mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1888 Posts	Posted 07/30/2011 10:49 am That is definitely one of the most amazing bits of creative craftsmanship I have seen in a long while. I wonder who the individual is, and if there is a website? Report this Post to the Staff

GoThunder Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 07/30/2011 2:55 pm Quote: (Text as of 2/19/02) 18 U.S.C. Â§331: Whoever fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales or lightens any of the coins coined at the mints of the United States, or any foreign coins which are by law made current or are in actual use or circulation as money within the United States; or whoever fraudulently possesses, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or brings into the United States, any such coin, knowing the same to be altered, defaced, mutilated, impaired, diminished, falsified, scaled or lightened - shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. (Emphasis added.) So is "fraudulently" the key word there? Report this Post to the Staff

captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 07/30/2011 3:47 pm I don't see the coins in this art to be fraudulently altered. No intent to commit fraud here IMO. It is a piece of art not a dime made to look like a quarter in an effort to defraud someone. Edited by captainkurt 07/30/2011 3:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
