Once again, for the illiterate, I did not do it. One of my students was cutting his money in half and I wanted to know if it was illegal so I could scare him into stopping. Thanks for knowing how to read!!

YES
Defacement of Currency
Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

It's your penny. I don't think we would run out of pennies if you decided to cut a few.

Technically, yes, but you would be hard pressed to find anyone willing to enforce it.
