I'm curious about the consequences of damaging a coin. Whether it's intentional or accidental, what are the possible outcomes or effects if a coin is damaged?

    Damaged coins, such as bent or partial ones, cannot be redeemed at their face value.

    Instead, their value is determined by the bullion (metal) content, which is assessed by the Director of the U.S. Mint.

    The Federal Reserve does not accept deposits of these damaged coins.

    If you possess bent or partial coins, you need to send them to the U.S. Mint for assessment.
