Finally, someone brought it up. I was led to believe that it was considered defacing currency which is against the law.
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

What he said.
Think about all the machines at the theme parks and tourist spots that roll out pennies with designs on them (should be 51 cents; 2 quarters and a penny). They even cite the law on the machines dictating that it is legal unless you try to spend them or use them for fraudulent purposes.
