Question:-
|
Is using coins in jewellery legal or against the law
|
|
Answer:-
|
It is illegal to deface a coin by altering the date or sum, because of its monetary value, making the coin fraudulent. Once the coin is used in our jewellery it can no longer be used as legal tender as our process adds a domed clear finish also we do not alter the date or sum of the coins used. Essentially, the key word is 'fraudulent'. You can legally drill through a coin, paint it, melt it, or bend it - but the moment you try and use that coin as currency, you are breaking the law. When sold by us the coin is within a piece of jewellery and not currency.
