Okay, well...
Just recently I ordered this manual, that showed you how to make dimes using pennies, so that when put into any kind of machine (ex. coinstar, vending, laundry) it acts as a dime. Anyway I made about 10,000 of these "dimes". It was sort of a hobby I guess. Anyway I was talking about it one day and this guy said he would buy them from me for like $500. So I was like sure, and I've been selling my dimes to him ever since. Well the other day I saw him putting the dimes into a coinstar machine. I didn't say anything, but would I go to hell for giving him the dimes? Thanks!
I just like to do this because I think it's fun, and I hate having extra pennies!

LOL!!
I don't think it's a sin, but it might be illegal.
Something about rendering unto Ceasar...but was it illegal for Jesus to get the money out of a fish?
Then again, there's also something about the love of money.....
hmmm.....
I'm wondering a couple of things.
Did you come by this book legally?
Do coinstar machines actually have that much money in them?
How long had you been collecting pennies?
(Uh...can I borrow the book?)
The guy who actually used your "dimes" might have a problem if he got caught. Don't they use cameras with those things?
EDIT: I can't believe so many people took you seriously!! Does ANYONE really believe that there is truly a booklet that teaches kids how to make vending machines mistake pennies for dimes? Come ON, puh-leeeeeeze, people!!

What you are doing is illegal. It is against the law, so you can go to jail if he is caught, (because he WILL RAT you out!!).
Now, being that you are STEALING, because you are paying for something in pennies instead of dimes and cheating some one of money that is rightfully thiers, you are in SIN.
You know what is right and wrong, and dont need us to tell you about it, because you KNOW that you are doing wrong.
JESUS would condem you to Hell for one sin, if you dont repent, and be baptised in HIS name.
And, even if you ARE a Christian, then you WOULDNT do this sort of thing, because once you are a Christian, you PUT ON 'CHRIST' and wouldnt act like that!
But, dont be a "play at church" Christian, where you go to church, do all the right things and then, do what you please, or , the LORD will judge you by THAT! NO lukewarm Christian, or fence walking Christian, you are either a full blown Christian and living the Christian life, or a Sinner pretending to be a Christian but still a sinner and will die a sinners death...
Its strictly up to you...
Live now, and die, and eternal hell...
Or, live "right", and have eternity to live...
I wish you well...

For someone clearly practicing the art of making counterfeit money, you sure have a conscience for your religious salvation.
What you are doing, my dear, is stealing. There is no reason to make "dimes" out of pennies.
Also, by selling your "dimes," you are now an accomplice to the guy's blatant crime.
I don't know what to tell you to do. Try to find a list of attorneys just in case you get caught.

Cigarette tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum) is a sub-tropical plant that needs a minimum of four ft of area in keeping with plant. you could no longer advance it interior the traditional backyard and whether you have the gap you need to be in gardening zone 9 or 10. So the traditional citizen can no longer advance tobacco. Marijuana on the different hand, could be grown in a window field or as a house plant, basically save the cats removed from it. every person can advance it (my mom actual grew some via twist of fate and did no longer additionally be responsive to what it became until a chum on the police tension observed it and gently defined that even in Berkeley you mustn't have it growing to be on your parlor window for all the international to confirm). A century in the past it became no longer in basic terms legal to advance yet became appreciably prescribed for quite a few scientific courtroom circumstances. Tobacco isn't almost as clever, is plenty extra poisonous and as you be responsive to far extra addictive. This makes tobacco a huge money maker. regrettably marijuana can't be constrained to commercial production, if it ought to that they had legalize it in a coronary heart beat, marketplace it as a miracle scientific care and value you an arm and a leg for it.

This is illegal, and you know it. And if it's illegal, it is also a sin.
Nobody goes to hell for a particular sin (except for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit). You go to hell for not accepting Jesus as your personal Savior.
I would quit this little "hobby", tho. It just adds to His suffering. Put your pennies in the coinstar yourself!

Well it is illegal and immoral. Your the reason for higher prices. people who are actually decent and don't steal have to pay extra because of you. Don't worry though. In the long run i don't think God sends you to hell for being a cheat with coin machines. Maybe he'll just punish you by making you restock the machines. LOL

It is illegal its called counterfeiting and is a federal offense. Expect a very long prison sentence if and when you are caught.
By the way posting this question wasn't the smartest thing you have ever done. Think about when the federal treasury employee of secret service agent comes across this posting.

Well I would have said that you were a genius and (Damn the man Lucas!) but then I would have to also take into consideration the fact that you were more concerned with wether or not you were going to hell, than you were admitting this on a check-able open, monitored forum and going to JAIL!
Federal Penitentiary for meddling with US currency.
so I can't call you a genius anymore... Sorry!
For that mistake... You SHOULD go to hell!

I don't really understand. If you are exchanging 10 pennies for a dime it is not illegal.

Yes!!! that is illegal. I don't think that it is very ethical either. It is the same as counterfeiting money. I think that you should probably quit while you are ahead. I don't know if you would go to hell for doing this. It is not my place to judge you. I just think that you should stop before you get into any serious trouble.
