If you tape the penny to the muzzle of a BB gun and start shooting it will eventually bore a hole through it. You could do the same with a screwdriver and a hammer.

>>1198226
This jackass intentionally cropped out a key modifier.
It actually says "Whoever FRAUDULENTLY alters, defaces, etc etc..."
OP, I'm assuming this is for some shitty art project and you're not having a go at fraud.

Niqqa I copypastad that from an article. Hence the meme arrow and sagetext. No need to go full-on shitcunt over it.

we have this incredible technology called "drill bits".

a 2mm bit will cost you $1. put it in a drill turn it around, and guess what? it drills holes.

Dont have a drill? a mini hand drill will cost you $10 and last you years.

Hand drills?

Sounds avant-garde. But I'll try em out.

Oh bullshit.

Explain the penny presser machines then.

Its only if u tryna fraud.

>>1198231
Glorious!

>>1198243
Lost

Another fun thing you can do with a post-1982 penny is file off a bit of the plating and put the coin in hydrochloric acid to dissolve the zinc interior.

A nail

Read the rest of it you fagot, it has a clear exception for jewelry and novelty items. They just don't want you melting copper pennies for scrap because they cost more than a cent to mint.

>>1198243
Negro, next time read the law.

>>1198356
Manlet detected.

>>1198493

modern pennies are made of 97.5% zinc, and 2.5% copper. so theres no real scrap value as far as copper goes. they are basically zinc with copper plating. nice try tho.

>>1198922
You know that pre-1983 pennies are still in circulation, right? Nice try tho.

>>1198223
kiss it. keep kissing it in exactly the same spot as hard as you can until you bore a hole ("whole") through it.

>>1198936
The composition change happened in June of 1982. '82 pennies can turn either way. Only way to tell is by weighing them. The copper ones are 3.1 grams, the zinc ones are 2.5 grams.

>>1198951
You can also tell by look. The older ones have a more bronze tone. It's hard to describe exactly, but if you get a coin from say '76 and compare with some 1982 coins you can tell by look which are the early ones or not.

>>1198231
Proportions look more suited to Hellboy.

>>1198243
Next time, quote from legitimate sources and you won't run into this problem.

Am I the only one who uses drilled pennies as a backer to make pop rivets hold better?

>>1198951
>>1199091
Can also drop the penny on a hard floor and listen to the sound it makes. They sound very different. Copper pennies ring, zinc pennies dont.

>>1199144
>as a backer
you mean as a washer right?

>>1199144
When I was a kid I realized that washers cost like 10¢ a piece, but I could drill a penny instead.
I've always wanted to do a large project like restoring a car and replace every washer with a drilled coin.

>>1198245
I have heard so many great stories about hand drills, even got to try one some old tool junkie had a while back. But none of the hardware stores have them.

Where do you get a good quality hand drill nowadays? I want one as the control they give is unmatched.

>>1199091
Not particularly. The later 1980's ones used the same deep-faced dies that the late 70's/early 80's did. Also, you're ignoring that the surface patina isn't universal. Brown cents are more common in the pre-82 coins, but red-brown is prevalent too, and that's where most of the newer coins tend to go towards.

I damn near threw 1975-S into my coin cup because it was vibrant red instead of the deep brown that those ones usually tarnish to.

ebay. buy 'em from the old guys when they die.

not mine, but I have the same model - Matebo, probably 1930's to 40's, and still runs brilliantly nowadays.

the chuck springs are a little argumentative, so it cant do a bit smaller than 1.2mm, but goes up to 12mm without too much work. I actually prefer it for pilot holes in steel, to a power drill.

Hose bag, you be wrong.

>>1198233
Try pointing the BB gun at your eye and see if that produces a another hole in your head.

>>1198223
Try swallowing a penny and blow it out your ass with a fart. might work for you

>>1198945
Great idea, self tapping screws OP, in case you don't know what they are called.

>>1199247

because those washers are stronger than a zinc/copper penny. they are expensive for a reason.

>>1198223
Use straight edge screwdriver as chisel with the hammer and cut coin in half. Then duct tape coin back together you will now have a whole coin.

>>1199496
they are pretty good for making small holes in soft metals and woods, you can smoothen the hole with a drill bit afterwards

>>1198226
>>1198223

While that may be the letter of the law, the spirit of the law is 1) to keep people from melting down nickels/pennies in mass if the metal content of the coin becomes more than the nominal value and 2) keep people from shaving coins (was much more common when there were actually gold and silver coins).

Mess with 1, 2, or 100 pennies and nobody will care.

Look at how people make bow drills to start fires. Use a pointy screwdriver or a piece of hard metal or glass on the tip and go to town.
Primitive diy but still holds.

>>1199151
>>1199091
You can also look at the year, wtf?

>>1199454
So is that a 120 or 240? How many amps?

>>1198223
Something like this works great, punched through many pennies for art projects with one. Like the other anon said use older pennies, maybe even we heat pennies off eBay. If you just need one hammer a nail thru it, if more than a few get one of these....

3) destroying money takes it out of supply and causes inflation

>>1201938
if you burn lots of money
1) if they don't reprint them, it causes deflation (but if you cause a considerable deflation the would probably notice and reprint anyway)
2) if they reprint them, nothing changes

I get my at local antique stores. I bought one last week to replace a more well used one.

It is a Miller's Falls #2 1935, for $25 (pic). I just finished oiling it and it works like new.

>>1199454
Just unscrew the chuck and oil it up.

Million of old money is burned every year as par for the course. There's even a heist movie based on stealing money from the currency incinerator plant.
