The press release starts off \u00e2\u20ac\u0153In these days of soaring gas prices, yelps of cash crunches and real estate depression, the last thing anyone would do is destroy money. Well, anyone but Yoko Devereaux<\/a> that is. Launching for spring\/summer 2008, Old Money, is a collection of coins hand cut into works of art Yoko has attached to aged sterling silver necklaces. As Creative Director, Andy Salzer, explains, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It is about taking something that is so relevant in our society and then destroying it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\"moneynecklace1.jpg\"<\/p>\n
