18 USC 333

"Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note,or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both."

Edit for clarity: Coins are evidence of debt issued by either the federal Reserve or national banking system so they are absolutely included.

"bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt"

None of these are actually coins or bills though.

A bank bill is "a document signed by a bank agreeing to pay the amount that is named on it" and the rest of those are similar. Just documents of agreement to pay or debt.

331 is the one to be concerned with.
