Um, these are awesome.

These are real coins, hand cut by this guy.

Italy


Thailand


Sweden


US Penny
(Steel pennies were only made in 1943 at the height
of WWII, when copper was in short supply)


Jamaica
(notice how the bird attaches to the frame at the wing. Amazing.)


Ethiopia

And last but not least, the US Quarter:


Ah, yes. George Washington smoking a doobie. It seems to be his most popular coin.

    I believe the U.S. quarter might be a reference to a scene from a movie. Watch at 00:52.
