Destroying currency is crime in Australia, so no, this has never been a thing, here.
Same here in Canada. The solution is that the machines accept a Canadian quarter to run the press, but an American penny to be pressed. No Canadian currency is harmed!
It's technically a crime in America too, but I guess Americans are more outlaw than Australians in that rather specific regard.
