It's like most of the other people who's made money on the internet, a stupid idea that somehow gets even more stupid people (or companies) to pay money to it.

Eventually they realise it's a waste of cash and the project dies - in this case it was only ever a single shot affair, so will end anyway.

but still a milion dolars is a lot.

i had a stupid ebay item once...."one of a kind interlocking quarters"

**broken link removed**

started at 5 cents and got up to $2.50

lost $3 in ebay fees for that one but i think it was worth it lol

all my friends saw it and thought it was hilarious

I used the dremel and 3 cutoff wheels to cut a quarter in half and superglued it to another, i thought it would have gone for at least $1,000

One do not own the coin or paper money in circulation, one owns the value of it.

In some countries, one could be prosecuted if found delibrately damaging a coin via drilling holes, cutting up paper money etc...

Yes, it's an offence in the UK - 'defacing the coinage of the realm' or some such thing?. I saw a guy at a craft fair a few years back, and he was selling really nice jewellery made from coins - but he only used non-UK coins. I think he was Australian?, and he'd been all round the world doing it, but never used the coinage of the country he was in!.

There was a case of a Japanese Electronic Company selling Projection TV in China which use a $1 RMB (chinese currency) bill and glued it to the underside of the equipment to act as a proof of authenticity and to prevent people returning equipment not sold via the sole dealer for repair.

The idea is sound as a bill has unique serial number and many different ways of preventing forgery built-in. However, it violates the same principle as mentioned above and the company removed them after clients complained.

In my opinion, I think the correct legal way to do it is to place it behind a transparant pocket and then glued the pocket to the case.
