If you think sexual stuff on coins is new thing, think again. Take a look at this altered 1 skilling 1771 from Denmark:
The altered inscription says(translated): One danish, and the other side I`ll let you interpret !
The coin is altered in the late 18th century, and is believed to refer to fact, that the danish queen Caroline Mathilde at that time had an affair with
count Struense. "Original alterations" are quite valueable, so don`t throw it away in discust if you find one.
Here is the original coin:
