Who buys pennies?
The US government (if you count production as buying them), coin collectors, and speculators on the value of copper and nickel (although defacing US currency is a criminal offense).
How much is a copper penny worth as scrap?
just about 1.3pence. a 2p coin is worth around 3-4p!(its illegal to melt down money two reasons: it belongs to the govenment and its defacing the queen's image)
Is it illegal to draw on a penny with permeant marker?
While it is not explicitly illegal to draw on a penny with a permanent marker, defacing currency is generally discouraged by the U.S. government. Altering coins to make them counterfeit or fraudulent is illegal, but drawing on a coin purely for personal use is unlikely to have legal consequences.
How can you test a coin for real gold?
All coins have a specific weight which you can find in coin referencing material per country along with a specific diameter. For example an U.S. 1922 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle ($20 gold piece) weighs 33.436 grams which contains 90% gold. If a coin is not this exact weight and diameter from this specific year then it is not the gold coin in question. If you are not concerned about defacing the coin there are gold testing kits available online or at your local chemical stores. Most use Nutric Acid and Muriatic Acid, which are applied to filed particles from the specified coin. These acids cause non gold particles to separate from gold. There are also electronic gold testers available at rather investment grade pricing.
What does a replica liberty gold coin look like?
A replica will look as close to the original as the manufacturer can make it with the difference being they are supposed to mark replicas with the word "COPY" somewhere on the coin. If it is not marked then it is counterfeiting , a Federal offense.
What is the value of a 1917 British Penny with extra metal on?
A British 1917 Penny, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £45 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £3 to £15 GBP. If the extra metal is there because of defacing or mutilating of the coin, it will probably render the coin valueless. If the extra metal is there because of a genuine minting flaw, the coin may have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin. Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated. A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation.
Is the 2009 silver eagle overstrike by Daniel Carr a legal tender coin?
I have been unable to obtain an answer from the Mint or the US Treasury. Its Crazy they don't have a way to contact them by e-mail to ask such questions. I have to assume that eventho the 2009 overstrike was struck on a genuine (Legal Tender) US Mint issued eagle, the removal of the original mint mark and replacing it with a dc mint mark (as well as the proofing) probably negates this coin as a legal tender coin. Since this is the same as defacing US Currency, I'd be interested to know how the treasury department views this coin. If anyone finds out, I'd like to know. It does server a useful purpose of filling the 2009 hole in the Proof Eagle set....Thanks...Bill
Is private firm overprinting legal 2 dollar bill with national park theme defacing it?
I believe, under a special Federal Reserve Act, you need a permit, or otherwise, it is ILLEGAL, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. I may be wrong, as it may not be allowed at all. As far as I know, the only thing that you are actually able to deface is a coin, when turning it into the souvenir coins you get from the wind up machines.

How do you take a centre of a Toonie out?
You are not supposed to remove a center of a "Toonie" (Canadian Two Dollar Coin), or for that matter, deface any Canadian Coin (or Paper Money) at all. Exceptions are made for Colourised or Laser Colourisations of Canadian Coins. Removing the centre of a Canadian coin is illegal, as this is Canadian Federal Coinage, and is protected by law at Ottawa, Ontario, Canada by Parliament. Heavy-duty tools would be needed to remove the Toonie centres, and this method would be tantamount to defacing the Coins. A quite similar law was passed in the United States several years ago as well by the U.S. Congress. In that case, similar exceptions were also made, which particularly mentioned the U.S. 1 Cent Coin. E-mail the Bank of Canada or other Canadian legal authorities before you attempt to do this to make sure you do not get unnecessarily penalized for it.
