This is a stunning coin. The portrait consists of the names of Dutch architects.

The back side is even better. The artist made the shape of the Netherlands by creating building-esque shapes out of Dutch architecture book spines. Amazing. Want more? Each bird is flying over the capitol of a Dutch province.

The artist’s post How to Make Money with Free Software is worth the click to see the process.

    Is this a real coin or a pretend coin?


    It is for real! Nice, eh?


    My husband wants to move to the Netherlands or Denmark. This could push him over the edge (as an artist).


    It looks fake! Or like jewelry. I want one. Is it in my mailbox?
