Cute - I already gave my two little pennies in the offering plate, like the little old peasant lady whom Jesus admired. She was not worshiping her little graven coin images.

Where are you getting your faulty information?

Catholics do not worship statues.

Here is the truth:

Being Catholic: Sacred Things, Sacred Images: Statues and Other Icons

You might also want to investigate some other sacramentals:

I already gave

Didja, now? Why are you telling me about it? You're not supposed to even let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.

She was not worshiping

Probably not, though you don't know that. Nor do you know what is going on in anybody else's mind ... unless they tell you. Presuming to judge the state of someone else's soul is even worse that worshiping a graven image. It is setting oneself up as a "god".

And we don’t worship images either. Thanks.
