31 CFR 82.2 - Exceptions.
§ 82.2
Exceptions.
(a)
The prohibition contained in § 82.1 against the exportation of 5-cent coins and
one-cent coins of the United States shall not apply to:
(1)
The exportation in any one shipment of 5-cent coins and one-cent coins having an
aggregate face value of not more than $100 that are to be legitimately used as money
or for numismatic purposes. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
export for the purpose of sale or resale of coins for melting or treatment by any
person.
(2)
The exportation of 5-cent coins and one-cent coins carried on an individual, or
in the personal effects of an individual, departing from a place subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States, when the aggregate face value is not more than $5,
or when the aggregate face value is not more than $25 and it is clear that the purpose
for exporting such coins is for legitimate personal numismatic, amusement, or
recreational use.
(b)
The prohibition contained in § 82.1 against the treatment of 5-cent coins and
one-cent coins shall not apply to the treatment of these coins for educational,
amusement, novelty, jewelry, and similar purposes as long as the volumes treated and
the nature of the treatment makes it clear that such treatment is not intended as a
means by which to profit solely from the value of the metal content of the coins.
(c)
The prohibition contained in § 82.1 against the exportation, melting, or
treatment of 5-cent and one-cent coins of the United States shall not apply to coins
exported, melted, or treated incidental to the recycling of other materials so long
as—
(1)
Such 5-cent and one-cent coins were not added to the other materials for their
metallurgical value;
(2)
The volumes of the 5-cent coins and one-cent coins, relative to the volumes of
the other materials recycled, makes it clear that the presence of such coins is merely
incidental; and
(3)
The separation of the 5-cent and one-cent coins from the other materials would be
impracticable or cost prohibitive.
(d)
The prohibition contained in § 82.1 against the exportation, melting, or
treatment of 5-cent coins shall not apply to 5-cent coins inscribed with the years
1942, 1943, 1944, or 1945 that are composed of an alloy comprising copper, silver and
manganese.
(e)
The prohibition contained in § 82.1 against the exportation of 5-cent coins and
one-cent coins shall not apply to 5-cent coins and one-cent coins exported by a
Federal Reserve Bank or a domestic depository institution, or to a foreign central
bank, when the exportation of such 5-cent coins and one-cent coins is for use as
circulating money.
(f)
(1)
The prohibition contained in § 82.1 against exportation, melting, or treatment
of 5-cent coins and one-cent coins of the United States shall not apply to coins
exported, melted, or treated under a written license issued by the Secretary of the
Treasury (or designee).
