there once was a man named john schipp who sculptured beautiful faces, designs, etc onto coins. 

these coins look like they’re apart of something much larger than this life, perhaps the key to some sort of portal or dimension. and john schipp is the bearer

(i’m sorry, but with a name like — john schipp— it makes it inevitable to believe that these coins are linked to some sort of fairytale. JOHN SCHIPP? i can make several rhythms with that. Don’t tempt me, john)

In all seriousness, this is really cool and I’m going to attempt to make a hobo nickel this break.
