"If you've ever dreamed of owning a bank-vault mounded high with shiny coins in
which you can bathe like Scrooge McDuck, now is your chance. A Swiss bank-vault
filled with 8 million Swiss 5-cent pieces is up for auction. The vault was made
in 1913 for the Schweizer Volksbank. The coins — 15 tons' worth — were used
in a 2013 installation in which they were dumped in a public square, with no
security, as an exercise in public trust. The coins and the safe are presently
in Basel. You will have to relocate them."
That's quite an unusual interactive artwork.
Share and enjoy,
