There would be no fraud in scratching 'ONE CENT' off of pennies that were, by law, worth 5¢.
But also, when was the last prosecution for defacing a coin in the United States?
What sort of monster would call the police on a fellow person for passing a damaged penny?
How would the prosecution's burden of proof be met?

- gojomo 6y agoThe $2 bills are currency. He recombines them to create funny & thought-provoking situations, including encounters with local police & Secret Service, that test the boundaries of what's allowed & what's trusted. What other definition of 'hacking' do you use?
