Big Coin

With a small team at Paper Moose I designed a giant 10 cent coin sculpture for the City of Sydney for a new recycling scheme. At 3.8 metres tall, and constructed from more than a thousand recycled bottles and 300kg of laser cut steel, the coin sculpture was installed in front of Customs House at Circular Quay, Sydney.

It was built to help promote a new 'cash for containers' scheme that would see 10c from every bottle being returned to the user when recycled. Such a scheme would reduce bottle litter significantly in NSW.
