TOPIC: Why have arc fault circuits

LOL. I was thinking of the light.... You know, I believe a penny is the only coin that you're allowed to deface. Hence the reason you can stick it into a machine at those tourist places and have it stretched out and stamped. She just had it stamped in a special way!

Nope...

According to www.railroadpennies.com/

Is this legal?
Yes. U.S. Code Title 18, Chapter 17, Section 331 prohibits "the mutilation, diminution and falsification of United States coinage" for fraudulent uses. For example, you can't flatten a penny and then try to trim it into two pennies for use in a vending machine. But, as long as you don't attempt to use a flattened coin as U.S. currency your owning it (and our flattening of it) is legal. It is important to note that FLATTENED COINS ARE NO LONGER LEGAL CURRENCY.

So as long as she doesn't try to use that penny she's good (Why do I have a feeling the answer is going to be Nope...)

Yep...

I used to put pennies on the train tracks near my house as a kid and flatten them.  Worked really, really well.  They came out huge!

Hmm, now we all have dirt on Jay. I bet it was when he was 6 too and with no parental supervision!
