I use coins as bases for lots of miniatures, either by themselves, or
glued 
onto a palstic base to add atability. If the gubmint asks, I'll just say

I'[m stashing a few...

I also did a few of my Old Glory 15mm ACW casualty figures on coins,
with a 
dab of red ink, as an art project. Worked pretty well, and that's 
waaaaaaaaay within my First Ammendment rights to use.

go for it
