Too bad there isn't instructions on how to make, or sizes.

very bizzare! pretty funky though

Pretty cool but illegal to make. You cant deface or destroy american currency.... i'm just saying!

Actually that's wrong. It's only illegal to deface or mutilate American coinage if you intend on using it in a fraudulent manner. Or if you are trying to salvage the base metals from the coin, it is illegal. Using coins and such for art purposes is completely legal.
