Section 160: Tender of defaced coin not legal tender: penalty for uttering

Any person who utters any current coin which is defaced by the stamping of any name
or word thereon, is guilty of an offence and is liable to a fine of four naira.
A prosecution for any such offence cannot be commenced without the consent of a law
officer. A tender of payment in money made in any coin so defaced is not a legal
tender.
