10,000 Coins

May 29th, 2007 by capitaladmin

This is a commercial for the series on SkyOne in the UK called The Big Idea which pits inventors and entrepreneurs against one another for a chance to have their invention or business idea realized, and to win £100,000.

Yeah, it’s for a commercial with clever editing but it’s still a pretty impressive feat to see that many coins (British 1 pound coins) getting lined up and then knocked down after every edit, cut and retake – A patient director, steady hands, nerves of steel and no sneezing…

UK pounds are a bit thicker than even the largest (circulated) American coin, 3.15 mm vs 2.15 mm (Kennedy Half Dollar), but I still imagine it would be difficult to make them stand up like that. If anyone would like to donate several thousand silver Morgans (~3.1mm) for us to line them up and give it a try drop us a line…
