FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this legal?
Yes. It's only illegal to deface with intent to defraud. (file down a penny to use as a dime). It's legal to make coin jewelry out of coins. For your convience, we include a copy of the law in every box.
Legality of coin cutting:
Section 331. Title 18, U.S. CODE: Prohibits among other things the fraudulent alteration and mutilation of United States and foreign coins. This statute does not prohibit the mutilation of coins if done without fraudulent intent or if the mutilated coins are not used fraudulently.
Do they come with a chain?
Yes, the chains are provided free. They are simple base metal chains. Most of the chains are 24 inches long.
What are the free chains made of?
The chains are made of a base metal, coated with a wash of gold. You can replace them at any time. They give you time to shop for a better chain at a good price, while you wear your beautiful cut coin.
What are the coins made of?
That depends on the country the coin comes from. They are made of many metals, from Copper all the way up to pure Silver. None are of solid gold.
How do you get them two toned?
We hand paint a blocking agent onto each little area that we want silver with a tiny brush. Then we dip the entire coin in 14K gold. When we remove the blocking agent, we have two colors. We then clean the coin, & coat it with 4 coats of automotive acryllic to protect the new finish.
How will I remember what this coin is?
We include in each box, the description of how the cut coin was made, what country it comes from, & the denomination of the coin. That way, when you give it as a gift, all the information is right in the box.
Can I call you?
Yes, we'd love to speak with you in person!! (352) 323-4976
How do I clean them?
Simply dip your moistened fingers into baking soda. rub this paste over the coin until it is clean. Rinse well, and make sure it is dry. Adding a coat of acrylic, or hard, clear nail polish will help protect the finish.
Are we going into a cashless society?
Paper currency in circulation has climbed steadily through the decades, according to the U.S. Treasury, totaling just $81 million in 1975, which was about $380 for every person in the United States. Last year, the total added up to about $2,578 in circulation for every American. The calculations are adjusted for population growth. There is an additional $35 billion of U.S. coins floating around, not counting those owned by collectors.
