Seed Money

Seed Money looks like the real thing - pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters - but is far more valuable. Use it to solicit surprise and smiles from friends and strangers alike, and then tuck these plantable paper coins in soil to grow colorful flowers and delicious vegetables. It's tender for tending!

Seed Money is hand-illustrated and letterpress printed in the USA on thick custom papers embedded with seeds. Available in rolls for sharing and spreading the wealth, these lightweight, whimsical - and practical - coins will slide easily into a purse or pocket.
