It would be very difficult for you to be accused of trafficing drug money all in small coin. You should be OK.
Do you guys have a dollar coin? I help at the concession stand at the basketball games sometimes. One night we were super busy and some kid was asking what he could buy with what looked like a canadian coin for a $ symbol. If I had time I would have bought it from him just for my collection. Instead I had to tell him to go back to momma for some greenbacks.
