      Those were alteady technically illegal because defacing money (even a penny) is a felony. Edit: see below comment

      A bunch of them have already swapped out to use penny-sized metal blanks instead.

          Oh, interesting, you’re correct. I didn’t realize ‘intent to fraud’ was one of the requirements for it to be a felony. I saw one of the machines that uses the metal slugs and assumed they were all switching over because of that.
