I wouldn't pay a tenth that price, but it's definitely cool.
267,500 pennies and 186,000 nickels searched. Hand sorter.

Howard Thomas is an incredible artist. He carves a few each week. I have seen people pay over 600 dollars for one of his nickels.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

I have a great appreciation for people who can create real works of art out of/with material things. A skill that has eluded me my entire life.
