It’s all about the paper money these days, and the little shiny guy gets chucked to the curb. I’m a firm believer of "see a penny, pick it up…etc," so I’m going to show a little respect for the coinage.
This TrendHunter.com ‘change purse’ (if you will) has a wide collection of coinnovations, from $1 million coins to dinosaur piggy banks.
We hope to increase the value of these suckers in your mind and heart (since we can’t do it by monetary value).
20 Coinnovations
