Hobo nickel is the most common term for the art of carving coins, giving them a new life. In this art, Roman Booteen from Russia is a master. 

He works mainly with old coins which are made of several layers of metal - and he takes advantage of it when creating his images and textures.

If they are his coins and he wants to carve them instead of keeping them for a collection isn't that ultimately his choice.... also if he's selling them and you don't like them.....don't buy them

There is an old german legend: In the "Walpurgisnacht", when April ends and May begins, all the witches fly to the "Brocken". There is the devil, waiting for them, they dance around (some sexual activity can't be miss ;) . To end this horror, the people in the villages turn up great fires to burn all the witches who could try to steal the maiden to make them witches too. Nowadays it's a big festival, crazy, scary, funny and because we're Germans, lots of beer.
