I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. After all, it's likely to be more illegal to produce a replica of a coin (ie. a forgery) than to deface a legitimate coin. I can't see why one particular company should have permisison to break the law anyway.
I think it's more likely that with the relatively small scale defacement/damage of coins by these companies, and the fact that the end product costs more than the original coin (therefore being unlikely to be deliberately passed off as real currency), it's not really worth anybody's time to prosecute any of these companies for treason or any other laughable offence. Especially since many are overseas.

This was achived effectively with a magnet so there could be a potential routine in there somewhere for you Raven users
