Materially damaged coins
Coins that have been materially damaged or are very worn, or that have been exposed to treatment that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a modifying effect, are not legal tender, cf. section 4 (2) of the Danish Coinage Act, and are not exchanged.

Coins falling within this definition may be difficult to use in e.g. vending machines, etc. and their authenticity could be called into doubt. Such coins may also be bent, their shape may have been altered or they may have been modified in other ways due to chemical treatment or other deliberate manipulation.
