The term “hobo nickel” comes from the American experience during the Great Depression, when some impoverished people carved images and designs into coins, often the soft 5-cent coin, to sell. The Hobo Nickel Society is an organization dedicated to preserving this craft and promoting its modern practitioners.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
For Halloween, the society is tweeting out images of the best Halloween-themed hobo nickels.
