274, Released

Its not quite time yet, but I still let the coins see their natural habit.

Soon we will release them back into the wild.

273, Strangely Brown

Feelin a bit crook 2nite so ya's get a quickie.

Cya 2morow.

272, We got a floater.

Coins in space.

271, Couple of tins.

Oh come on, surely its an obvious pun.

270, Golden Eye

Havin a ball

269, Dog Pile.

Do not blame me, I did not make that pile....

268, The Big O house

The golden sunlite really brings out the best in our beaut Opry House.

267, The Anti gravity Jar

Something has gone wrong with the money jar, I can't seem to be able to keep the coins inside... I've discovered Anti gravity.

266, Red Handed

Ghost Hand.

Single shot, long exposure, no Photoshop.

265, The final countdown

Yay me, 100 days to go and counting.

264, Atoll

Somewhere off the coast of Oz is a beautiful coral island. With its golden

beaches and green blue waters it's the place to be seen and splash some cash.

263, Things I might be.

1, A Stadium                                     2, The Colosseum                           
3, A Chain                                         4, A Bracelet
5, One ring to bind them                    6, MCG
7, A Crater                                        8, Wicker Basket (bottomless)


.

262, Lonely

 

I cant believe that this poor jar of cash was left sitting on the shelf, no one to love no one to take him home.


















.

261, Pacacoin man

Tonite we retro. 

I don't think Pacacoin man has a ghost of a chance of eating all my coins.

260, iHades

Deep in digital hell and watched over by banking demons coins are forged and waiting to burn holes in unsuspecting pockets.

259, Very Welcome

Some of my fav doggy friends (with help of their people) have donated some coins to the project. I am very grateful and hope Spike and Bonny get lots of tummy rubs as a reward.

258, Just Peachy

Now fruitier. 

257, Lost Coin

I've found out why its hard to find many of the coins I don't have in my collection yet.

The reserve mint wants to sell them to me at $15.00 each. Here are a few I've discovered for sale.

You never know, I may bite the bullet and snatch a few (but they mightn't make to the jar for keeps...)

256, Forehead

My skully image, same 256 coins just photographed with different lighting.

Hope ya's like it.

.

255, I am geek

What a wonderful representation of 255, a golden number.

11111111

You can see it can't you?

254, Ancient Hoard

Unearthed after centuries, an ancient cache of golden tokens.

253, Dive

Everyone into the jar.

252, Curly question

My money has gone all trippy and seems quite twisted.

251, The warning pond.

Look out, no I mean DUCK.

Now how bad is that pun? but you have to agree my rubber ducky is cute though.

250, Qtr-C

.

One by one we pick off Pertinent numbers, I was happy when I passed the first 30 days. even happier when 100 days was reached. The three month and six month milestone were next to fall and now its day 250.

In just over 115 days I'll be handing over a jar containing $365.00 and it will be a celebration and probably a moment of sadness that I wont be stretching my brain on a daily basis. Having said that, watch this space. 

249, and Personel

.

Alright, you caught me. I'm in a major hurry and I just took a bunch of foto's....

And this is the winner. 

I kinder feel cheapened by the experience.

248, The complete package

OK you already know I'm a bit weird, so I like packaging. I'm the advertisers dream.

There's the form, the color and size, the function. And its because of all that I always have lots of crap laying around, just waiting to be re-purposed as a prop or as a case or covering or part of a larger artwork.

Its not junk its a resource, a never ending supply of... of... my precious.

247, On the Inside

Have you ever wondered what the coins see?

This is the view from the inside, The picture they didn't want you to see....

246, Back together again.

Altogether again for the first time. 246 coins in formation.

Aren't they lovely.

245, Warning

I need to bring to your attention, a most insidious product I found today. (And I only purchased several for research purposes) Wine in a Can. It is a joint NZ and Oz co-production and should be avoided at all cost. The French have still not forgiven us for the wine cask and the screw top wine bottle, so I know this will cause a major diplomatic situation.

244, Differently Identical.

Even after 244 days of finding, swapping, buying and stealing one dollar coins; I have only managed to find 17 of the 65 different faces that have been released by the Australian mint. But for you my peeps, I'll get on searching.
