infographic money concept
tokyo based designer mac funamizu wondered what would happen if we rethought how coins were
designed with an infographic perspective. funamizu remarks on the merits and drawbacks of round
coins. while he acknowledges their benefits he wanted to see if they could be redesigned in a way that
was more universally understood. this would benefit travelers and people not accustomed to a specific
currency. the idea barrows from the world of graphic design, giving each coin an infographic form that
corresponds to pie charts. a one dollar coin is a circle, while a two dollar coin is two. the smaller
increments are segments of the circle or perforated to show what percentage they represents. while this
idea wouldn’t work very well in things like vending machines, it makes you think about alternative
ways we could design money.

I think these are great, would work fine in vending machines as coins are not recognised primarily by their shape but by their electro-magnetic signature (why you can't use same shaped coins of a different currency and lower denomination), only thing they need is a bit more colour, anti counterfeiting measures and of course they have overlooked the crucial national identity, and cultural historical connotations coins have.

Dollars will be a problem in some cases.
But the whole idea is just right!
Quarter-, half- and two-dollars will be a problem.
