Trashing money is illegal and sounds very unethical to me.

  Nope. Currency (paper money) is protected; I don't think coins are at all. Witness all the jewelry made from coins.

  It’s a lot more nuanced than “illegal” and definitely depends on your region: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_burning#Legality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_burning#Legality

  Why unethical? You’re giving everyone a small gift of deflation.

    It's more ethical and efficient to burn paper money, if that's your goal.
