B"H
I wish to sell a silver currency coin. It is a special medallion with an image of an actual idol. This means it is prohibited (The Divine Code, p 187, Editor's Note).
The Divine Code says that a metal idol may be sold to someone who will definitely melt it down and utilize the metal for another use (p 201, topic 4).
P. 221, topic 16 implies that I need to sell the coin to a Jewish smelter.
If I cannot find a Jewish smelter, may I sell the coin to somebody else?
