Your link ends their response to half of those questions with 'you should talk to an attorney'.

Most important piece in direct reference to the statute I've mentioned repetitively: "The United States Mint cannot issue interpretations of criminal statutes."

This is mentioned more than once.

    333 doesn't mention fraud in any way. As mentioned, you're protecting against assholes effectively. Your source doesn't seem tohave any legal claims at all or mention any us codes in any way.

    It basically just says yeah we feel like it's fine and you're probably okay.

    People don't like to hear it, but defacing currency is technically illegal, doesn't matter what loophole you think you have, the only thing that matters is intent and how permanent it is and if its 'fit to reissue'. Unlikely to get in trouble unless you're playing with it in front of an asshole cop/etc, the secret service is definitely not going to actually come after you, but there are asshole cops and it is worth knowing.

    But yeah, if you can't find any at your bank, there are always plenty on ebay, they actually still made the Kennedy 50 cent piece until last year, just mostly uncirculated. You'll pay more online but not drastically more, $5 is the high end I'd expect.

  • It's pretty vague and a lot of them are bordering on pseudoscience, but there are studies out there linking eye color to various positive/negative personality traits. Realistically, I think it's likely linking to genetic markers that are correlated but not necessarily causal but genetics is not my field of study.

    We could go pretty far back depending on how you define it. We had less useful items that still could qualify in the same category as a modern LLM 7-8 years ago which gets us close... You could potentially stretch the definition to something like Megahal which is pushing pretty close to 30 years old.

    Is that drywall on the walls? It doesn't look like it, have been trying to find something more water resistant for my basement, just kinda curious what you're using if it's not or if we're just relying on the water resistant paint you mentioned.
