I am an artist and I am wondering if it is legally acceptable to use coins as a medium for my artwork. I want to know if there are any legal restrictions or consequences for creating art pieces out of coins.

Hobo nickels, which are coins modified with carvings or designs by homeless individuals, similarly escape legal repercussions.

The federal law appears to lack explicit sanctions against the use of certain altered coins for specific purposes.

One such purpose is the utilization of cut-out coins as jewelry, where pieces of coins are fashionably transformed into wearable items.

Engraved coins and love tokens, which often bear personalized messages or designs, also fall outside the scope of prohibited practices.

Encased coins, where a coin is mounted or framed for display, are another example of altered coins that do not seem to violate the law.
