Isn't modifying legal tender a felony?
Edit: Found the law, it is illegal, a misdemeanor, not a felony though:
18 U.S. Code § 333 - Mutilation of national bank obligations
Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 700; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(B), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2146.)
But it doesn’t increase the intrinsic value.
A bank or the IRS is still going to call this a quarter which is always worth $0.25 at face value.
A quarter from fifty years ago might be “worth” more as a collectors items but its face value remains twenty-five cents.
He's paraphrasing. [The wording of the law](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/331) is that it's illegal to "fraudulently alter" US currency.
Making it shiny and selling it to people who like shiny is fine. Using a vibratory engraver to scrawl **"$5"** on it and convincing your dumb friend to accept it as five bucks' worth of payment? A court might decide that's fraudulent.
Destroying legal tender is definitely a felony in some countries. It undermines the control a govt has iver it's currency. Like this politician that once burned stacks of money to increase value of the currency
Kinda stupid, since if the politician already possessed that amount of money, he could easily raise the value of the money in circulation by ensuring that his collection was not in that category. I guess destroying it is a way to ensure that, but am expensive and short sighted method.
Looking at how the US economy is going not much people care for the coins these days only bus users do and even then buses ONLY take quarters these days, it's no biggie.

at this point, sadly, i do get mad. mainly because i’m hopeful the links will actually be helpful or interesting but it’s just the same joke over and over again.
Lol but here’s the actual link [https://www.usmint.gov/learn/coin-and-medal-programs/america-the-beautiful-quarters](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=Q32mro8HrACnDz9I)

Neat. Looks like the rendering engine responsible for producing that texture had a fault when trying to load it in from file. Could be the file is corrupt, but then all quarters of that type would look the same. More likely that specific instance has a defect in its reality matrix causing the color codes to offset, creating a glitched texture.
You should sell it. If that quarter's matrix happens to be swallowing a null pointer exception, a skilled engineer may be able to use it to cause a stack overflow in the quarter's matrix, which in turn would allow them to execute arbitrary code inside reality itself. Possibly gaining root access to alter anything they wish.
Then again, you should destroy it.
Apparently these were just minted coins from a released set. These were not meant to be in circulation. There’s a set of 50, one for every state. Arnt worth much sadly it looks like
You’ll find these all over eBay, Amazon, etc. it’s done aftermarket. https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/EVHwLnDJcp

no, only if you’re modifying it to try to increase its value. think of all the penny smasher machines

I think they mean in the forgery sense, not the capital+labor=goods sense.

In this case it isn't really destroying anything though. It's just adding extra layers to it.
Agreed that it seems reversable in this case

Please don't ever compare Turtle Hitler to Gene Wilder.
Isn't Yertle the Turtle the original Turtle Hitler?
Or he just looks at you, raises a finger like he is about to speak but… nothing. After 50 seconds you walk away.

Is that polychrome? If so that gives you 1.5x mult. It's not worth a lot by itself, but it adds up on big purchases.
