  • Cougaboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Last time I checked, linking to two separate websites on the same topic doesn't count as a dupe....but then again, who cares if it's a dupe or not?
  • csandb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I'm glad that at least this can provide some entertainment to Digg users. I thought I was just wasting my time building those things.
  • D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8A article a day old with only 4 diggs? Please, In my opinion it isn't a dupe unless the original gets at least 20 diggs
  • stex, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11How did this make the front page?
  • consonance, on 10/12/2007, -5/+121. Create coin structures.
    2. Take picture.
    3. Add lens flare in Photoshop.
    4. ???
    5. Profit!
  • shm0edawg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8i don't see the photoshop lens flare...... maybe it's just me, but i see flash reflection off glossy surfaces. however the first image with that reflection does look a little like the "plastic wrap" filter, but alas, i'm sure it's not.
  • csandb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This other one is worth checking out. Some of the structures are a lot bigger and better and far more impressive.
  • D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7For the record, I don't even have spare change... I use all my change to buy things like food and gas and for pay parking meters.

    Link taken from a rude comment above. It has many impressive and creative examples.
  • Sage00, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Haha, awesome. You've inspired me to make some of my own. :-)
  • jammink, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I don't think it's possible to have too much "spare time". If you have more, then you can use it for stuff like this.
  • Rhine23, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah I saw your link and thought it was very unique and checked if you had submitted it but you hadn't so I took the liberty of doing it for you. To bad I don't have enough friends to get it front paged :/
  • dhoonlee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3A video demonstrating how they are made.

  • TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -9/+12@ PatrickFisher -
    making coin sculptures is a better use of time than making asinine comments on digg
  • trghpy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Engineering Art.

    Whoohoo!
    :)
  • toxicredm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@stex:

    A lot of people dugg it. Duh!

    and then? the fun part?!

    Destroying them!!
  • dpierce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The third one reminds me of the cylinders of the Petronas Towers:

  • Frankie4Fingers, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Not only is this a dupe, it also is kinda lame... just imagine if everyone's creations got put up on the web and put on digg... what a terrible world we would be in.
  • jesirose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There's been a commercial which does this only much cooler, been around for a while.
  • bergur1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Lol I saw this yesterday when someone suggested this to americas problem with pennies. Afterwards I actually made a pretty sweet penny man.
  • csandb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No lens flare(I don't even know what that is). The pictures were just taken with a simple digital camera and were not altered. It's just flash reflection.
  • orangecoins, on 04/15/2008, -0/+0Don't see them anymore?
  • Drull, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Pics?
  • Petrarch1603, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2yawn
