Quote: "nucleus"buying colored coins (Ireal or fake) is a sin and anyone spending money on them should be purged from numismaticsYou don't have to like them, nor to collect or buy them, but at least have an open mind and respect fellow collectors. Narrow minded people should be purged from numismatics.
Quote: "Essor Prof"Yes, those Kennedy half dollars are still worth 50 cents each; thus, they retain their legal tender status. On this site they should be considered tokens, but that's a different question.

The rules in the USA might be different but here, once coins are altered they are no longer legal tender. The colored 2 euros are no longer legal tender. Numista doesn't even allow them in the "Exonumia" section, let alone in the regular coin catalog because they are considered PMD. If they were still legal tender they even deserve to be in the regular coin catalog. And these are only colored, the enameled coins go even a step further because they even loose one side since this is totally different from the original legal tender coin.
