Makes me wish JFK was on a coin.

edit: I'm fucking stupid, you guys.

You're in luck! The Kennedy half dollar, minted since 1964.

Up until about 3 years ago I had always that it was JFK on the dime. Turns out the dime is Roosevelt or something.

At least it's not the side of his head the bullet exited from.

Cents since 1982 are mostly zinc with a thin shell of bronze. They'll rot badly if compromised with a hole.

I've never seen/heard anyone refer to them as cents referring to the physical coin rather than the value and calling the coin a penny

If you want to be pedantic, the use of cents in that way is incorrect.

And historically accurate

Shouldn't the other penny behind the front one be rotated a bit prior to punching so you can actually see the minted year without having to pull up the front penny?

It'll look a bit janky but at least it'll follow the intent of the post.

I'm guessing, it won't be offset like that most of the time...? I mean, it is theoretically possible, if that hole isn't round, which is hard to tell from this picture, but that just seems rather inconvenient for a key chain.

Add a nickel for the year you had triplets.

Pretty sure that's a federal offence.

Nope. Destroying currency in a manner that does not constitute fraud is not illegal in America.

Oh, I meant putting a hole in Abe Lincoln's head.
