Designers Stefan Sagmeister and Jessica Hische created type using coins. Yes...those are coins! Sagmeister organized a massive typographic public art installation incorporating over 250,000 eurocents to spell out the phrase “Obsessions make my life worse and my work better.” Check out the process and more photos at his blog and through Flickr.
