Coin Operated Lamp

Jethro Macey's Coin Lamp turns on with a coin-operated switch. It was designed 'based on the concept of values and reward' (aka: pay as you go) by subtly heightening 'awareness of consumption.' According to Macey's website, Coin Lamp will be available to the public soon. To express your interest, sign up to Macey's newsletter. Via.

DIY Coin Buttons

I was cruising around a local rock and roll boutique, and I found a set of buttons made from pennies: $1.99 for 3. Cool, I thought, but a penny should cost 1¢, not 67. A DIY project for sure.

Supplies:

    Handful of coins

    Small bowl

    Scrap hard wood

    Small clamps (optional)

    Needle and thread
