I guess people are honest in Switzerland? I would think in most countries people would be surreptitiously stuffing them in to their pockets and bags.

Quote :

"to mark this historic initiative, a truck in the city of Bern unloaded 8 million five-cent coins, on Friday to represent Switzerland's 8 million citizens."

Quote :

"To mark the day, a truck full of 8 million five-cent coins was deposited on the square and spread out in front of the Swiss Parliament in Bern on Saturday. "

Anyway, so I don't understand where the money came from, and what happened to it eventually. The process itself of collecting the money, depositing it, and then collecting it back must have cost a nice bit of money. So, silly from that point of view.

Nevertheless, still cool. Not something you see everyday.

I, for one, sure as hell wouldn't want a pocket full of nickels.
