I apologize if this has been posted before. Go through a few pages and see what can be done if you have a whole lot of time on your hands and a whole lot of coins.

p.s. looks like a lot of dorm rooms.

However, some elaborate ones also appear to be in offices!

Ok, I tried it.
It's actually pretty easy to do the basic bridge.
Beyond that I got bored.

Neat idea, I tried something like that with poker chips a while ago. Well, I had 3000 cents going back to the bank, and decided to try it. I ended up making a 1410-cent tower that was around 1.5-2 feet tall.

I tried playing jenga with it once it was done; I removed 118 cents from it before it fell! And what a mess!

Here's the finished pictures:

Cool.
