hobo nickels (<coins by form or technique>, coins (money), ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Coins, specifically the nickels designed by James E. Fraser and minted in the United States between 1913 and 1938, which were hand-carved by itinerant American workers of the time, many of whom were homeless. The coins used the nickels' images as their base, and were altered to depict images of loved ones or friends, then subsequently traded for meals, a place to sleep, or other favors.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 特指由詹姆斯‧E‧費雪 (James E. Fraser)所設計,並在西元1913年至1938年至1938年於美國造的五分錢硬幣。由當時居無定所的美國工人手工刻製而成,其中許多為無家可歸的遊民。原本採用五分錢硬幣的圖案為基底,後來改為描繪親友的圖像,用以換得膳食、過夜之處或其他協助。 
Dutch ..... Munten, specifiek de nickels (stuivers) die James E. Fraser ontwierp en sloeg tussen 1913 en 1938 in de Verenigde Staten, die met de hand werden gegraveerd door rondtrekkende Amerikaanse arbeiders, van wie velen dakloos waren. Men gebruikte de afbeeldingen op de munten als basis en paste ze aan om afbeeldingen van dierbaren of vrienden te creëren. Vervolgens ruilde men ze voor maaltijden, overnachtingen of andere zaken of diensten.
