Money Art: Coins make a scene in the Gaming World!

Kotaku has recently started a very interesting contest for gamers. They're inviting you to make art themed in some way about video games.... out of coins!

That's right, all that change which you keep in your sock or piggy bank have suddenly found themselves a use.

Some gamers have already taken up the challenge as shown in the two pictures featured. The guy is from the Phoenix Wright game while the level is Super Mario Bros. level 1-1.

Given the chance and a large amount of coins, what would you do?

Awesome art there, but honestly, I would just take all those coins and redeem them for cash.

What if you could make more from selling the art than taking the coins off and using them as currency? That would be much more fun, seeing video game art in coins hung up in some art gallery.
