This refers to coins. The law may very well be different pertaining to currency.

Whoever fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the mints of the United States, or any foreign coins which are by law made current or are in actual use or circulation as money within the United States;

or Whoever fraudulently possesses, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or brings into the United States, any such coin, knowing the same to be altered, defaced, mutilated, impaired, diminished, falsified, scaled, or lightened - Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

Since shooting a hole in a quarter doesn't involve fraud, I don't think the LEO's will come after us.

My apologies to General Washington, to me the marvel is merely that I was able to hit a target that small and shape from that distance and the intriguing ballistics of how the projectile and coin interacted. In fact when I saw the first shot through the scope was right where it was suppose to be, I laughed out loud. Even though I wasn’t the one who overcame the technological challenges it takes to stab a quarter from 75 feet away, I felt like I had accomplished something impossible without effort. Yep, there’s clearly criminal intent there.
