Coin Furniture by Johnny Swing
Vermont based Johnny Swing is a master of repurposed material, and here we see his collection of seating that uses a variety of coins (quarters, nickels, half-dollars) to produce a couch and some chairs. The Nickel Couch alone uses approximately 7000 nickels (that’s $350 worth of nickels for those of you too lazy to do the math), and required a painstaking 35000 welds to the stainless steel substructure.

Now that is what I would call a good investment. The furniture would be durable, you could use cushions to make them comfortable and when you are tired of it or if it should wear out … you get your money back.
