Destroying money is illegal.
my GF already runs one, and this is just part time. I think she makes more than I do LOL..
I often get asked if making a coin ring is against the law. While coins altered for the purpose of counterfeiting are illegal, as long as an altered coin is not being done so with the intent to counterfeit, then it is not illegal… at least in the United States....
“Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who “fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.” This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent.”
The key words in the statute above is “fraudulent intent”. If you altered a piece of US currency, and then knowingly attempted to use it to make a purchase or to represent it as something other than an altered coin, that would be fraudulent intent, and that is illegal. (An example of this illegal fraudulent intent would be altering a US $1.00 bill and attempting to pass it off as a $20.00 bill.)

I don’t have a garage but our apartment does have two bathrooms.
Many people read my article The Ultimate Guide to Selling on Etsy and mistakenly think that Etsy may just be the answer to the tugging on their entrepreneurial spirit. After all, it has all these things going for it:
It’s super simple to set up
You don’t need to have a techie bone in your body to get an Etsy shop running
Products remove the risk of putting yourself out there and offering a service
You only need a prototype at first
Etsy has built in traffic and fans
It’s relatively cheap to get up and running.
But with all of those great things going for it, there are limiting factors as well. After you’ve started your Etsy shop, and begun to make sales on it, and maybe even grown it past $1,000/month, these limitations may begin to weigh on you.
But don’t worry. I won’t leave you hanging. I’ll tell you how to fix them so you can sell on Etsy successfully… while also giving yourself the freedom and flexibility you crave from your 9-5 (or even just more creative license!).

I often consider listing my finds on Etsy, as I love vintage items. However, I have never gone forward with my ideas. Thanks for giving me some advice. I’m sure to learn lots of info.
I bought a few things that the family business had given away when it existed. Match panel trucks and match books and key chains with the company name on them. Company was in Minnesota. Some items I bought were shipped from Colorado.
