How to duplicate a line without yanking it?

I'm currently using yyp or yy(n)p to duplicate lines. Can I do it without yanking lines?

You can delete the line with dd and then paste (put) it with p multiple times. E.g. 2p to duplicate.

Explicitly the not so upvoted answers (like :t.). - but why not yyp?

If you use :co. then the " register will be left alone.
