I have some old coins that I don't want to use as currency anymore. I'm wondering if it's possible to melt them down and turn them into jewelry. Is this a feasible idea, and if so, what kind of equipment and skills would be required? Can you melt coins to make jewelry?

Similarly, modifying coins for the purpose of selling their raw materials for profit is the only scenario where it becomes illegal.

This applies to various forms of modification, as long as the intention is not fraudulent.

This means that artists, craftsmen, or anyone else can utilize coins in their creative endeavors without facing legal repercussions.
