QR Code made of money

I’ve been inspired by the QR codes made of cookies, paint tins etc. and decided to make a QR code from money.

It scans pretty well with the QR code reader on my iPhone, which is called imaginatively enough “Scan” by QR Code City.

I generated the QR code using an online service here.

I then annotated that image to make it easier to lookup different pixel values. Once that was one I started laying the coins out of a sheet of paper. I have to say if I were to do this again I’d get a A1 printer and print a template with markers just smaller than the coins. It would make life a lot easier.

My my reckoning the image is worth 3 pounds 13 pence. Next up a QR code made of chickens… or air… or ennui…
