I have some coins that are mutilated, either by accident or intentionally. I'm wondering what typically happens to such coins. Are they still usable? Can they be exchanged for new ones? Are they worth less now?

This means that the United States Mint is no longer accepting bent or partially damaged coins for redemption.

In the past, the United States Mint had a policy of redeeming such coins for their full face value.

This policy had been in place for many years, allowing individuals to exchange damaged coins for their full worth.
