Shiny Graffiti

Wow, this is sick. Have you ever found a penny on a sidewalk and picked it up? How about coming across thousands of pennies lying around in such an order as this?! Super clever! Bravo!

    Photoshopped.

    Read about this a while ago in the newspaper. It happened somewhere in Holland, dont remember where exactly. The coins (I believe they were all 1 euro cents) were not fixed to the ground. Obviously this caused people to sweep up a bunch of coins and take it. The work of art did not last long.

    Awesomely Awesome!

    this definitely doesn’t make me believe in originality. This was taken from somewhere but this site isn’t providing credit to the creators or providing any further information about the project at all.

  9. Sean says:

    @Dead C: OMG THIS IS SO NOT ORIGINAL BECAUSE IT WAS ON ANOTHER SITE FIRST, THEREFORE THEIR AMAZING ARTWORK DOESN’T COUNT.

    Shut the fuck up.

    Panhandlers must have had a field day the next morning.

    @Phil E. Drifter: Yes, because if there are pictures of people accomplishing something that you can never do, it’s obviously photoshopped.

    waste of money if you ask me.

  17. GuyGuy says:

    What are in those trays?

  18. Tony=Douche says:

    “waste of money if you ask me.”

    Just the kind of thing you’d expect a Tony to say.

  19. Michelle says:

    This is absolutely beautiful! What a creative medium to use. :)

  20. lisa says:

  21. harrzack says:

    Hmm – better be careful. It is very cool, but next thing the government will be stepping in: Defacement of government property! :-(

    some people got WAY too much time & money on their hands!

  23. Public art makes our lives richer. Beautiful public art makes it richest.

  24. spaceface says:

    very nice! where is this? it looks so familiar.. I’m thinking Amsterdam just before the station?

  25. Issa says:

    This is beautiful! It’s very inspiring. I have quite a few pennies; not nearly that much, but enough to create some sort of art on my street. Maybe it’d bring a little cheer to this dreary neighborhood of mine. ^.^

    The light on the letters is simply terrific

  32. Laron says:

    People need to calm down. Not every cool thing you see on the internet is photo shopped, and not anywhere on this site do they claim that its theirs. They might not know who created it, they might just be showing off something they found that was amazing, and wanted to share it.

    Nice artwork, I wonder if it can be left unattenended.

  37. Thanks for a great blog with high quality information, every time I come here, I’m amazed.

  38. Fliptrx says:

    All the nay-sayers here are obviously either very poor, and could use the pennies, or are just not sophisticated enough to appreciate a simple artistic endeavor.

    If the pennies are that important to you, I’d suggest you stop paying for internet service and us the money from that frivolous expenditure to buy food or pay your rent.

    If it’s just a matter of a total lack of sophistication. Pity !
