hmm i dont see why not tho. So many times i see at work moustaces drawn on the queen on notes. Its a good ideal but maybe you shouldnt do it at camp, would make a great art project tho.


they said i could buy resin and trap the coins in it, but i dont think the camp would order resin just for me to use hahaha...so that idea isn't happening!

yeh u could but it would cost more tho lol! well the coins are bigger, so u can position the hole to the side of the face instead in the center of a coin, 5ps are very small so would be difficult to drill a hole which doesnt touch the queens face.

i'm teaching kids how to make jewellery using silver.
if i was to use the 5p coins as charms on the bracelets, drilling small holes into them...would that be classed as "defacing" the queen and agaisnt the lasw?


Not in America - british money isn't legal tender over there. Over there it is illegal to deface (drill holes in american money). I did it last summer to turn pennies into S.W.A.P.s for a girl scout training weekend I went to after camp finished.

LOL. Defacing the queen in treason, holds a life sentence! :P (not saying you would be put away for life for drilling a whole through it, If you ask me its more patriotism which is far from treason. Perhaps drill around the head? lol
