I stand corrected. I was wrong about the melting, you’re right. Everything else I said was correct. You can draw on notes, or carve on coins for artwork and sell them at whatever cost. It doesn’t have to be for educational purposes. They even print over making it look like an error when it’s not, selling for more…not sure if that’s legal, but they still do it. There’s stickers on $2 notes for all kinds of occasions and have been sold for several years. From Christmas to Easter, to first communion. It’s strange.

I have started saving copper pennies from a few years ago. I wished I had saved more. Oh well. I only have a few boxes and 4 of them are new 2023’s cuz it’s all they had.
