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.
3 u/Yorspider Feb 15 '24 It's technically also illegal to destroy them enmasse for scrap value. 1 u/sifterandrake Feb 15 '24 Correct, that's why it's "art." I call this piece "brick." 1 u/Yorspider Feb 15 '24 They don't care if you make one brick, they care if you start scalping all of the nickles you can get your hands on in a tristate area, and selling them by the ton for scrap value. 1 u/sifterandrake Feb 15 '24 I call that piece "brick wall." 1 u/Yorspider Feb 15 '24 Or it's alternate title "Felonious destruction of currency"
