- fragmede 1mo agoIt's technically a crime in America too, but I guess Americans are more outlaw than Australians in that rather specific regard.

- OkayPhysicist 1mo agoOnly with intent to defraud is it a crime in America to deface US currency. Shaving a bit of the copper off every penny you touch, to melt down and profit from? Crime. Scribbling off the 1 on a $10 bill and scribbling on a 2? Crime. Cutting up pennies to show off the unmatched strength of your shitty kitchen shears? Perfectly legal.
