Pennies made before 1983 are 95% copper. The amount of copper in these pennies is actually worth 2.2 cents!

Could someone help me out?
The Thing at the top of the page says that it is ILLEGAL to do this to a US penny... but i was under the impression that you can do anything with your money because it is just that... YOUR money. Once you have it, you can do whatever the hell you want with it... I thought (this may be from a History Channel program about money), that once its yours you can write on it, burn it, rip it, whatever because it's your fault that you just lost x-amount of money for doing that.

no its constitutionally prohibited to destroy money

might stem from the romans shaving gold coins

moneyman is correct. Amie is wrong. What may have been an old law waas repealed and once you posess your money, you can destroy it or alter it if you wish, unless you desire to transform the money in an effort to pass it off in a fraudulent way. In which case yo ass goes in front of da judge!
