This may be illegal in some countries - damaging coins.
Most countries prohibit the mutilation of their own currency which is in circulation. So in Australia I shouldn't mutilate/deface/damage current issue Australian coins, but am perfectly free to modify pre-decimal coins, and coins from other countries.Quote:

I have used coins, now out of our circulation, to make washers and stops for the end of chair pipe legs to protect the rubber feet.
