    Hello everybody,

    One of my friend mentioned this to me. Its amazing i think. It said that "In a recent marketing campaign in Vancouver, 3M sought a strong image for their security glass. They modified a bus shelter and fitted their security glass and filled

    it with REAL BANKNOTES.

    Many have tried to gain access with golf clubs and baseball bats but obviously the glass remains intact! This is what you call having faith in your own product..."


    What do you guys say?

    I saw this years ago. Its all one dollar bills so its probably less than $50,000 so if it was broken they wouldnt be at much of a loss. It only works because it looks like a lot.

    It was a great idea to use the glass from the bus shelter for their security glass.

    I'm surprised someone hasn't come by at night with an electric saw or something and just cut the entire thing off and taken it home...
