Photographer Leslie Kay has managed to find a unique topic that most people walk by almost every day but never really see with her collection of photos entitled Change in Gross Places.
Leslie Kay manages to find the oddest coins in the most randomly disgusting places. From beside a poo-stained toilet to a whole in the floor, these coin photographs prove that Kay isn't afraid to go where no one has wanted to go before.
