Silver Carved
Is it against the law to do this to a coin?
I saw an auction on eBay for a bass guitar pick carved out of a quarter. (Take a look: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Solid-SILVER-Metal-Coin-Bass-Guitar-George-Pick_W0QQitemZ230337783228QQihZ013QQcategoryZ159950QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem )
Is defacing this coin illegal?
I'm pretty sure that all US currency is the property of the US government and it is illegal to deface or destroy it in anyway. However it isn't really enforced.
