It only became illegal to melt pennies and nickels in 2006 or 2007. Around the same time melt value started to exceed face value (post World War II nickels are back down below face value now I think). Seems like a pretty difficult to enforce law though. At least if you are only doing it on a small scale.

Oh wow! I didn't know that! I should have taken advantage of that and make some cool stuff with pennies! I think its odd those machines that combines quarters and pennies to create one of the stamped flat designs aren't illegal! haha
