.... Another day another Dollar...: October 2010

Whats going on here then?

Another Day Another Dollar is a project about doing and completing something. It is inspired by 365 Make Somethingand follows the tradition of Skull-a-day. Over the next 365 days I plan on creating images using Aussie Dollar coins, each dayadding one extra dollar until I have $365.00 with which to splurge or donate. Wish me luck
I've decided any money pooled will go to the Victorian Animal Aid Trust in Coldstream Victoria. Love their work
and one of my babies came from them http://www.animalaid.com.au/ (added 03/11/10)
Today (01/05/2011) marks the six month point of this 365 day project and I may just vary the way I photograph the coins for a period. I will still be adding a new coin to the collection each day and still be posting a daily image, but I may vary the amount of coin I photograph on any given day. Some days I come up with an idea that requires more or less coins than the daily total indicates and so I haven't been using that idea, but from now on you'll get what takes my fancy. Rest assured I will still do regular postings with all the coins for a given days total. Heres to the next six months. Oscar.

Sunday the 30th of October marks 365 days and the finish of this blog. It will be time to hand over a small amount of money to a cause that needs so much more and I hope anyone finding this site will help in anyway they can. I have had so much fun doing this blog and at the same time so much stress in coming up with ideas, For the last few days I have left I will revisit some of my earlier pictures for an update or maybe need a little nudge in the right direction.

To all those who came back time and time again I thank you, to Google for removing the Ad links and the small amount of money raised; I blow you a raspberry and think you were mean and unapproachable.

Love to you all Oscar the Fox.

1, My first dollar

It was a hard choice to pick what would be the first image but we had to start somewhere.
I love the look of Aussie coins and the original one dollar with its Kangaroos is one of my fav's. The $1.00 coin was introduced in 1984 to replace the $1.00 note and the design was called 5 Kangaroos and designed by Stuart Devlin. Since its introduction there have been 64 commemorative issues but not all making it into general circulation. I'll try to find them all in the coming months.

If you have a picture or even an idea you would like to submit then email it to me. To be safe make it for a time at least a few days in advance of our current date so it will still be relevant we'll include as many as we can.
