Irish artist Frank Buckley (Frank Buckley) built his house out of 1, 4 billion cut up into small pieces euro banknotes. The award of the exclusive permission from the Central Bank of Ireland and the Buckley constructed and now lives in a house built entirely of shredded bills written off. He formed the bricks of cash 5 by 15 centimeters, each of which consists of 40-50 thousand euros.

In the 200 years of the loan he received sized and 365 000 euros for the purchase of the house, despite the fact that he was at the time the unemployed person. These "mad" as he puts it, credit is what led to the financial crisis.
