I considered pasting the whole shebang here, but rather, just Google "defacing currency".

I call bullshit.

"One side note, and it really irks me, it seems to be a legislative reaction to some morons increasingly wanting to melt Cents and Nickels. It is now illegal to melt them. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always thought that the mindset of melting coins to make a profit never made an ounce of sense. It costs money to transfer a globally recognized coin with a known metallic composition, into a bar or round, and to have that object assayed. It’s the undertaking of an idiot. And yet, untold millions of silver coins have been reduced to bars and rounds. Friggin’ idiots."

Some person on Quora, for whatever that's worth.

I've considered getting $10k in pennies for an art project ...

Fun fact, it's not only legal to melt pre-1964 currency, it was often encouraged as a way for currency to hold its value.

Pennies and Nickels do not fall into that bucket, however.

Holding that much cash is already insane, considering inflation. In coins? Huge liquidity problem. Good luck finding enough buyers to make 10-20 cents off a single coin.

The one account I know that follows this account is @chasedownloads aka Chase Passive Income, which is a parody of a certain kind of entrepreneur, very much not real.

This is not real. No one associated with this account (or, probably, any account) has bought these nickels.

This is almost certainly a troll account and not real. Also, like many pointed out, melting US coins is illegal.

Curious to know how buying a pizza with tip in [Florida](https://floridianpress.com/2025/05/desantis-approves-law-all...) with [10 dimes pre-1964](https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/series-detail.aspx?MVDet...) goes.

Joking aside, not a bad bet.
