Original Note:
It's a common misconception that it's illegal to melt US coins. Generally the only time the destruction of coins is punishable is if the coins are being melted for the purposes of profiting from the raw metal, however creating art or jewelry is perfectly permissible https://www.usmint.gov/news/press-releases/20061214-united-states-mint-moves-to-limit-exportation-melting-of-coins https://www.govmint.com/coin-authority/post/is-it-legal-to-melt-us-coins https://www.coincollecting.com/is-it-illegal-to-melt-u-s-coins
