Basing ... and scaling

Unfortunatley we in Germany are forbidden to destroy money (and I'm pretty sure using them as base counts as such), so being an upstanding citizen, I stay with the washers.


Not sure how we stand on this in the UK. It used be illegal to deface the monarchs image on a coin but I believe that this was took off the statute books some time ago.

However I do ensure that I do not glue the figure to the Queens head side :)

It's still treason to deface the Queen's image.  But as of 2000 it no longer carries the death penalty.

The post office have been doing it with postmarks for years, so I guess they in line before us.
