Actually in the United States you can alter coins legally, but you must not do it with intent to commit fraud.
In the old days when coins where made out of precious metals (like gold). People would shave some gold off say a $50 gold coin, then go spend the coin as $50, then maybe melt the shavings down and sell that ingot to someone else. This was in violate of the law.
As long as you don't try to pass heavily damaged coins, you aren't breaking the law. And even then no one really cares now since the coins are not made of precious metals.
Coins are worthless currency imo with this economy. Pennies cost more to make than they are worth.
3C to make 1 penny! YEAH MURICA! DOLAR-NOMICS.
"TAKE ONE DOLLAR, TEAR THAT SOB IN TWO. NOW YOU HAVE TWO DOLLARS!
