Sec. 486. Uttering coins of gold, silver or other metal
Whoever, except as authorized by law, makes or utters or passes,
or attempts to utter or pass, any coins of gold or silver or other
metal, or alloys of metals, intended for use as current money,
whether in the resemblance of coins of the United States or of
foreign countries, or of original design, shall be fined under this
title (!1) or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
AMENDMENTS
1994 - Pub. L. 103-322, which directed the amendment of this
section by substituting "fined under this title" for "fined not
more than $2,000", was executed by making the substitution for
"fined not more than $3,000", to reflect the probable intent of
Congress.
