Coin currency is not considered " defaced " unless the sum and
date of the coin has been altered . It is then considered
" fraudulent currency " ….if you try to spend it . Otherwise ,
you may paint , drill , melt it and cast it into a fishing lure ……
make jewlery,,,,,whatever .
If you were looking for simplicity……you found it .
I would have to post a live edge backscratcher ( twig ) to
compete with you dudes . LOL
