It's only illegal to destroy or deface currency with the intent of fraud, or to alter the value.
Like, altering a $1 to look like a $10 or $100 is specifically illegal.
Art, science, "just because" are all legal.
No one gives any fucks if you waste, mutilate, or otherwise destroy a bunch of pennies.
Their existence is basically wealth redistributive handouts for the copper and zinc industries now anyway.
I hate pennies so much.
