Hobo Nickle Coaster
Get a bunch of history related posts in my Facebook feed. A very nice black and white photo of this hobo nickel showed up, so I decided to upscale it and run it through the zoetileddepth.
The hobo nickel is a sculptural art form involving the creative modification of small-denomination coins, resulting in miniature bas reliefs. The United States nickel coin was favored because of its size, thickness, and softness; but the term hobo nickel is generic, carvings having been made from many denominations. Because of its low cost and its portability, this medium was particularly popular among hobos, hence the name.
