3/27/2006: Egg money

Undertoad · 03-27-2006, 12:25 PM

This is a 50 Yuan note, built in eggs. Suggested by alxrosen and it was also Boing Boing'd, of course IotD will not pass up such a display of food. Original gallery site here.

didn't their mommas never tell them NOT to play with their food?

sandra77 · 03-27-2006, 01:12 PM

I hope those eggs are hard boiled!!

Great image especially with spring & Easter coming up.

Other country's money is cooler than ours ...

(the tiling/carpeting surronding the display is scary)

Combine that with this and you get a good breakfast!

This eggsotic eggstravaganza is an eggcelent eggsample of an eggregious eggsercize in artistic eggo. This "artwork" should be eggstracted from the eggsabition hall and the artist eggsecuted.

*claps wildly* Elspode, you get an 'A' for the day and first choice of juice boxes! Very nicely done!

Did I miss something? Is there some symbolism in the use of eggs?

Happy Monkey · 03-27-2006, 03:53 PM

What does that have to do with the price of eggs in China?

There's a lot of really nice artwork on the page. The image of the lighter looks like OBL to me.

If the Easter Bunny doesn't make it this year we know why. It's the only bunny known that lays eggs. No hijack intended.
