Never heard of him before, seems pretty focused on the putting pennies together thing...Interesting hobby? Talent? Art?
Robert Wechsler is an Artist-In-Residence at Olin College of Engineering working primarily with the American penny, precisely notching and joining the coins to create geometric forms.

Maybe his circular bike at $6000 makes more sense, maybe not.
