Tokyo motor show

The tokyo motor show always features some of the most outrageous and futuristic concept cars. This year's show
is no different, featuring the mazda taiki, the yamaha tesseract and the honda puyo.

Manhole cover design

Decorative coins? Nope, Japanese manhole covers from the Okachin Manhole Cover Gallery, which is over a thousand images deep. If you're going to make your living climbing down into sewers, you may as well have something pretty to look at on the way in.

Space Money

Money and spacetravel is apparantly a tricky combination. Imagine a heavy metallic coin floating around, bumping into delicate instruments. Well, a team of scientists has now come up with a way to provide space pick-pockets with a new prize. A new currency and coins specifically designed to solve these problems, called the quid (Quasi Universal Intergalactic Denomination).



I can imagine these being HIGHLY sought after by coin collectors that now have to do with mere Earth money.
