HORNBY ISLAND COIN ART

Jim Bulmer of Hornby Island in British Columbia, Canada, passed along these photos of his coin art. Thanks. -Editor

I bought $1500 in U.S. change from an Island Friend, and this year (Covid-Hobbies) I glued them all to plywood and painted them, and this is how they turned out.

Cents through dollar coins, and some large Tokens and Pins, Gorilla Glue, and Tremclad paint on plywood. They sit near the road in the trees, they're pretty heavy.
