Well, sort of. Russian artist Roman Booteen modified a 1921 U.S. dollar coin to feature a glove, a sword, and a surprising mechanism. His carving on the coin is exceptional, as the coin now features a metal armor glove with decorative, hand-engraved details. The additional charm in this piece of art is from a hidden mechanism when a hidden button is pressed, as My Modern Met detailed:
The glove is holding onto a sword that seems to be plunged into the side of the coin. The piece is already impressive as a still sculpture; however, once the hidden button on the outer edge of the coin is pressed, the metal components come to life. An integrated spring allows the fingers of the glove to move, as if it’s gasping the sword’s handle.

lol
the language does sound a little strange.
im from newfoundland and the language they are speaking is english.
the accents are a little thicker than average but the worse is the terrible distortion caused by the compression in the video and by the wind blowing on the mic.
dont ask me to do a full translation tho the sounds just too bad.
i have seen a better version of this somewhere and it didnt sound so bad.
Keep in mind that all of the man made particulate in the atmosphere (aka smog) reflects more energy than the minuscule amount of CO2 produced could ever hold in. If it weren't for the amazing increase in sun spot activity over the last 10 years the planet would be cooling instead of warming.
Amazing footage.
Regarding the language, it's english alright.
I'm irish and it sounds like a particularly thick west-ireland accent.
