Coin Bank ah

2024 / Edition

Neodymium magnets, local Suar wood

Coins not included

The coin bank, released from its shell with the coins held together solely by magnets, transforms into a sculpture through the dynamic placement of coins, inviting curiosity and exploration.

Only compatible with coins that are magnetic which have steel or nickel content. 

 

This work is inspired by Singapore’s current circulation coins from the Third (Iconic) Series, introduced in 2013, are made with multi‑ply plated steel planchets that include a steel core; this gives each denomination a distinct electromagnetic signature for machine detection and anti-counterfeiting.
