In honor of Star Wars Day, British artist Shaun Hughes engraved a regular nickel with the image of a Stormtrooper helmet, and the result looks fantastic! Be sure to check out Shaun’s other creations on his deviantart profile!

The hobo nickel is a sculptural art form involving the creative modification of small-denomination coins, essentially resulting in miniature bas reliefs. The US nickel coin was favored because of its size, thickness and relative softness. However, the term hobo nickel is generic, as carvings have been made from many different denominations. [Source]
