coin
I have recently been peering around at European moneys — particular to work out this modification of the fold wallet to accommodate Euros.
Impressed by how lovely the bills are as compared to our gruesome American dollars (they only get sillier), I was excited to see the following announcment…
The coin currency in the UK is being updated — the result of a competition three years ago, won by the 26-year old Matthew Dent. His design breaks the heraldic Shield of the Royal Arms onto six coins, so that when puzzled and arranged, they display the full coat!
Matthew says: “I found the idea that members of the public could interact with the coins the most exciting aspect of this concept. It’s easy to imagine the coins pushed around a school classroom table or fumbled around with on a bar – being pieced together as a jigsaw and just having fun with them.” (from the wejetset.com story)
