The Franklin Mint is hocking these things on TV. It is a Kennedy half-dollar that is layered in "gold." On the side with Kennedy's face, it is covered up with a portrait of Obama. Isn't this defacing US currency? I thought that was against the law.

All the man's campaign posters read "CHANGE!"
But you act surprised there's an Obama coin! [:o)]
No it is not defacing US currency. For The Franklin Mint is just a trade gimmick. They are not backed by the US Treasury department. "Legal tender" sure if you find a place that will accept gold, silver or die cast cars and trucks as payment. You can not take a hand full of there "certified legal tender" coins down to the electric company and pay your power bill with them.
How many die cast cars and trucks have you ever saw being hocked or certified by any US Mint? Myself, never. But have saw a ton of them being pawned off by The Franklin Mint.
