The law prohibits the raw material obtained from currency being physically exchanged for profit beyond the value of the original currency. The key there is physically. As long as he's not selling the actual copper for profit, profit from the video is in exchange for the creative, educational, and entertainment value of the content and is not prohibited by the currency law.

    Just a couple of tips from someone who did similar many years ago. Use a fibre brush on your grinder to do the initial polish and to draw the blade into a more inherent edge before sharpening. Use a hard cloth polishing wheel on your bench grinder to work it further. Believe me, it makes the temper more forgiving than brittle as temperature and resonance don't overwork the metal. Finally, your belt sander should be using the lower temp and finer blue honing belt not the red one. Keep up the great work, your sword is an enviable piece. Hope this helps.

      Actually...they definitely won't pull out a gun to stop the bank being robbed. Banks typically comply with robbers and give them what they want, and leave it to the cops to catch them.
      Their accounts are insured, and the amount a robber will make off with is far less than the amount they could have to pay for lawsuits and such if anyone gets hurt.
      They want the robber gone, simple. A dead or injured employee or customer is far worse than losing a few thousands, or even tens of thousands, that's insured anyway.
      Bank robbers almost always get caught before too long anyway. If they actually rob just one bank they could conceivably escape justice forever, but that rarely happens. Somewhere between the third and the tenth time, they almost always get busted, and the game is over.

    Work hardening isn't about packing the atoms closer together. The hardening is caused by fracturing the metal crystals so the metal has many small tightly interconnected crystals.

  • @WilliamSlater
    @WilliamSlater 5 років тому +186

    Work hardening isn’t pushing the atoms closer together. Work hardening increases the grain dislocation density, which decrease the ability for plastic deformation. This is because the slip planes get blocked by the dislocations. Thus, the yield and tensile strength go up, ductility goes down, and toughness can decrease.

      To simplify what Wil said, basically imagine that a metal is made of crystals. Remember clevage planes? Yeah, those weaken the metal, so you want something that prevents them from sliding. Work hardening forces another crystal oriented in a different direction in the slip planes way, making it harder for the planes to move, causing the bult metal to become harder

    Work hardening is not a result of compressing metal. It’s a result of breaking down the crystalline structure of the metal. Which is why it gets brittle. In the end you wind up with tons of tiny crystals interlocking instead of fewer large ones. Basically, you’re creating more surface area on each crystal, which creates more internal friction. Which creates more resistance to beding. At least that’s the way it was explained to me by a metallurgist.

    • @kasparroosalu
      @kasparroosalu 5 років тому +6

      This is correct except one minor thing. You are reducing surface area of crystallites but increasing surface area per volume. This is called work hardening and many metals exhibit this phenomenon. Copper and its alloys are probably most known for it but titanium and many stainless steels all-so work harden, making them quite difficult to machine.

    The metal isn't getting denser when you work harden it, you are increasing the number of defects in the internal crystal structure, most of which will be dislocations. These defects are what make the metal stronger after work hardening. You are not increasing the density of the metal, you are increasing the dislocation density.

    This is not illegal. He addressed it in the video, but there are a lot of comments anyway so I'll expand. It is illegal to destroy Federal Reserve issued bank notes. But the Federal Reserve does not issue coins, it only issues paper notes, coins are issued by the Mint which is directly administered by the Treasury Department. Destroy all the coins you want, Uncle Sam doesn't really give a damn. However, if you profit from the destruction of coins, that has been interpreted by the FBI as counterfeiting (I'm not sure how the court ruled) so he cannot sell this sword for more than the $5 of pennies he used.

    • @bullardryan
      @bullardryan 5 років тому +33

      The fact is that the law isn't clear, and the law that you mention (cite?) isn't relevant, so while it may be true, I'm ignoring it. There is a general rule prohibiting exporting, melting, and treating one-cent coins. 31 CFR 82.1. Clearly the portion of the rule against export doesn't apply. There are exceptions to this general rule under 31 CFR 82.2. There is an argument to be made that this use doesn't qualify for an exception to the rule against melting or treating one-cent coins under 31 CFR 82.2(b) or (c)(2). Under this theory, it wouldn't qualify under sub (b) because sub (b) refers to the "treatment" of coins, which, according to the Treasury's supplementary guidance, refers to things like a science teacher experimenting with a single coin or a child putting a penny into a penny press. 72 FR 18880-02, 2007. Unless melting down $5+ worth of pennies is considered "treatment," he can't claim an exception under sub (b). That leaves exceptions under sub (c), which exempt melting from the general prohibition if it meets 3 requirements. One of those requirements, under (c)(2), is that the melting of the coins is "merely incidental" to whatever activity the individual is doing. Clearly, the entire point of this activity is to melt down coins, and therefore this activity would not exempt him from the general prohibition on melting one-cent coins. This is legal information and not legal advice. You can check the cites and read the relevant law for yourself. At the end of the day, you're right that no one really cares and I highly doubt he would ever get prosecuted for this. At the same time, try to check your law a little more thoroughly before you (probably unintentionally) spread false information. In any case, this is a pretty interesting legal question that, like most interesting legal questions, doesn't actually matter in real life and exists mostly as a hypothetical. Hope this comment was interesting and helpful~
