Short Dollar History
The United States dollar history is over 200 years. The design we know today was approved in 1928. The word “dollar” stands for “daler”. It was an abbreviation for Joachimsdaler, a coin that came from Joachim’s Valley (Bohamia). “Dalers” became popular in England at the times of King George III. Each “daler” was about 1/8 of English pound, thus it was called “piece of eight”. This long name soon transformed into a famous $ sign.

A Car Covered in Cars
What can you do with an old Ford Capri bought on eBay? Cover it in small toy cars and turn it into an art project, of course.
Young James Ford has spent the last two years working on General Carbunkle, a homage to General Lee, the legendary race car from The Dukes of Hazard. He thought of an original way to pay tribute to this popular ride and decided he was going to cover it in red and orange toy cars.
Ford relied on toy donations from all over the world, in order to complete his project, but did impersonate a toy-shop owner to get his hands on 2,000 toy cars. In the end he estimates he used between 3,500 and 4,500 cars, mostly T-birds and Double Decker buses.

Info Graphic Coins
The author says:
The round shaped coins must have a lot of benefits that other figures such as a triangle or a square don’t.
Also, non-rounded coins may have many demerits.
Aside from those, travelers and other people who are not accustomed to the currency would be able to easily remember how much each of these coins is (as long as she knows how to read pie charts).

San Francisco Toothpick sculptures
Scott Weaver always dreamed he would build the world’s largest toothpick model and 34 years ago he started working on it. Fast-forward to present day and he still hasn’t fulfilled his dream, but he did create one of the most impressive toothpick sculptures in the world.
“Rolling through the Bay” is a 9 feet tall, 7 feet wide and 2 feet deep toothpick model of San Francisco that features 4 Ping-Pong ball rolling tracks and several entry points. That’s right, it’s the tracks that make this wooden masterpiece so unique. That’s how Mr. Weaver began his adventure in the world of toothpicks, by building abstract models and rolling Ping-Pong balls on them. It just got out of hand at some point and turned into this amazing model.
The toothpick model of San Francisco took over 3,000 hours of work to complete and over 1,000,000 toothpicks. Luckily, a pack of 750 toothpicks costs just 99 cents, so Weaver can’t say his hobby is too expensive. Ripley’s Believe It or Not offered Scott $40,000 for his unique model, but he isn’t ready to part with it just yet.

A Bra That Converts Into a Gas Mask
The Ig Nobel Prizes are a parody of the Nobel Prizes and are given each year in early October for ten achievements that "first make people laugh, and then make them think".
This year in the public health category won the creators of a bra that can be converted into a pair of gas masks. One for the wearer, one for a friend.
Dr. Elena Bodnar, who created this bra, said that the bra/gas masks could have been useful during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Take a look at the photos of the ceremony.
