No tribute to Banky's self-destructing art could be more serendipitous than Booteen's Banksy Coin - the coin that almost shreds an inserted piece of paper.
Just when you think you've seen it all, Booteen once again makes you question your perception of what limits there really are in the area of a coin.
When Roman Booteen auctioned his 1921 Morgan Dollar Hobo Nickel in August for $10,101 it became an overnight icon.
Based in Russia, rising star Roman Booteen (spelled Butin) maintains a mysterious level of anonymity, while producing hobo nickel creations which regularly shock the coin collecting community with both their subject matter and complexity.
His carvings include pop culture figures, and he often plays with exaggerating and softening the facial features of his characters giving them a real sense of personality.
