no, defacement does not include melting of coins for their precious metal. drilling holes, however, would be classified as defacement. the metal really, modern coins are not worth anything significant. pre-1965 coins are.
i played hours of wii and i didn't throw my wiimote. you really have to be stupid or have no coordination if it launches out of your hand. the colorful wiimote condoms nintendo sell are very good for grip. maybe nintendo should have included one with the system. this lawsuit is bogus.
the dollar is extermely weak. not news to anyone who follows the currency markets. this is proof of inflation - inflation is a monetary issue, not an increase in proce for goods and services - that follows inflation as the market adjusts.
our current coins aren't really worth anything, anyway. too little metal. 1964 and earlier coins are 90% silver. silver is currently $13.76/oz. a quarter is a quarter-ounce, so a 1964 quarter is roughly $3.44 (might be less, -10% and maybe more for wear & tear). exchange your petty 1965+ funny money for the real thing, before silver is over $20/oz!

What credibility does the press maintain? 0 That is if you're talking about 'traditional media'.
