WHAT TO DO WITH SOON-TO-BE OBSOLETE COINS? MAKE A MONEY TREE!
Dick Johnson writes: "Malaysia one-sen coins are soon to
be abolished (reported here in E-Sylum (November 18, 2007,
vol 10, no 47, art 26).One writer is alerting craft-minded citizens in that country
to make a coin receptacle box sprouting a tree and use 25
coins to hang from raised relief leaves. Writer Teresa Wong
gives instructions to take a facial tissue box, cut apart
and paint it with salt paint to give it texture resembling
leaves on the tree at the back of the box.She does this to save a handful of the obsolete coins to
show grandchildren of the future to prove they actually
used such a low-value coin.Shown at this website -- materials list, diagrams,
