A
United Arab Emirates man said it took him 3,000 hours to coat his 1998
Chevrolet Camaro in 33,000 of the country’s coins. Tariq Javaid, a
Pakistan native who has lived in Dubai since 1999, began gluing the
coins to the car on October 15, 2010, and attached the last piece of
currency last week so the car would be completed in time for National
Day celebrations today. “I requested my friend who works in a bank to
arrange for the coins. All the coins used in this car are brand new,”
Javaid said. Javaid, who used all denominations of coins for the car,
which he dubbed “Pride of the Emirates,” said he hopes his feat makes it
into the Guinness Book of World Records. The coins are worth
approximately $5,700.
