Arranged by Swedish design studio Bedow, the piece is a world map made entirely out of over 3,000 coins from around the world: in a stroke of artistic genius, each continent was built using its own currency.<\/p>\n<p>A 2009 project, it was arranged for use by Erik Penser Bankaktiebolag, a Swedish bank. One hopes that the bank\u2019s security guards are keeping a close eye on Bedow\u2019s stunning piece: anyone short on a bus fare may steal a bit of Ohio. Check out images of the project above and below, including some close-ups of the spare-change countries. See if you can spot which part of the world it is.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/2012\/06\/a-world-map-made-of-3000-coins.html\/a-world-map-made-of-3000-coins2\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14707\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14707\" title=\"A World Map Made of 3,000 Coins2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins2-550x343.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins2-550x343.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins2-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/2012\/06\/a-world-map-made-of-3000-coins.html\/a-world-map-made-of-3000-coins3\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14708\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14708\" title=\"A World Map Made of 3,000 Coins3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins3-550x343.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins3-550x343.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins3-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/2012\/06\/a-world-map-made-of-3000-coins.html\/a-world-map-made-of-3000-coins4\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14709\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14709\" title=\"A World Map Made of 3,000 Coins4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins4-550x343.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins4-550x343.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins4-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins4.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/2012\/06\/a-world-map-made-of-3000-coins.html\/a-world-map-made-of-3000-coins5\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14710\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14710\" title=\"A World Map Made of 3,000 Coins5\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins5-550x343.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins5-550x343.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins5-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/A-World-Map-Made-of-3000-Coins5.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMoney makes the world go round,\u201d they say. \u201cMoney makes the world, full stop,\u201d would be the reply of Perniclas Bedow, creator of a world of copper, gold and silver coins.
