Hobo Nickel

Hobo Nickels are a beautiful art form made from minted nickel coins.  Miniature bas relief sculptures were hand carved into the coins. US  nickels were a popular medium for this art; their size, thickness, and  relative metal softness made for the perfect medium. They remind me of  crypto currencies. The idea of taking the concept of money and improving  upon it. 

I  recently listened to the On The Record #5 podcast interviewing  Presstab. Presstab is one of the developers for the PIVX coin. He  mentions that he worked on the crypto currency HoboNickels. HoboNickels  were created with a cloned and customized implementation of the NovaCoin  source. NovaCoin is the first fork of PeerCoin. Unfortunately,  HoboNickels is pretty much a dead coin. That's too bad, I like the  concept of it and the logo.
