 Largest Coin Mosaic: Manufacturing Industry breaks Guinness World Records' record (VIDEO)

  
CHICAGO, IL, USA -- The manufacturing industry made history, breaking the Guinness World Records' record for the "World's Largest Coin Mosaic" during the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS); in an effort to raise awareness of the vital role the manufacturing industry plays in the U.S. economy and the opportunities it presents for the next generation of workers, the mosaic incorporated more than $65,000 worth of coins – the amount of money manufacturing contributes to the U.S. economy each second; the mosaic sets
the new world record for the Largest Coin Mosaic, according to the World Record Academy: www.worldrecordacademy.com/.
Sandvik Coromant made history, breaking the Guinness World Records' world record for the "World's Largest Coin Mosaic" during the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago to raise awareness of the vital role that manufacturing industry plays in the U.S economy and the opportunities it presents for the next generation.

  The Guinness World Records' record for the e longest line of coins measured 64.88 km (40.32 miles) and was made by Youth Activities Team (USA) in Fort Scott, Kansas, USA.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most people tossing coins simultaneously was 36,222 in an event organised by Make-a-Wish (Ireland) in conjunction with the Bank of Ireland, Leinster Rugby and the Aviva Stadium at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin, Ireland.

   "While achieving this World Record is an enormous accomplishment for the industry itself, it is truly gratifying to know that the sum of the coins used, as well as additional donations from event sponsors, will benefit the growth of our industry and the future generations that strive to keep it alive," says Klas Forsstrom, President, Sandvik Coromant.

   "The overall goal in creating this mosaic was to raise awareness about the vital role manufacturing plays in the U.S. economy and the advantageous career opportunities it presents our children for the future."

   To symbolize the importance of career development within the industry, the mosaic's design illustrates a manufacturing worker holding a gear surrounding a globe, highlighting North America.

  A set of rising bar graphs further depicts the growth manufacturing has brought to the U.S. economy, while the words "Manufacturing Our Future" headlines the entire image.

  The final mosaic, comprised of more than 214,000 dollar, quarter, dime, nickel and penny coins, covered an area of more than 840 square feet, surpassing the previous record holder by 24.76 square feet.

  The money used in the creation of the mosaic will be donated to The Manufacturing Institute (the Institute), a 501(c)(3) non-profit-organization.    Committed to delivering leading-edge information and services to the nation's manufacturers, the Institute remains the authority on the attraction, qualification and development of world-class manufacturing talent.

  This donation will help students take advantage of STEM-education and help fund its summer camps, as well as other initiatives including "Dream It. Do It." and "STEP Ahead," a women-in-manufacturing initiative.
  
    The world's largest coin mosaic was made possible with help from event sponsors including Haas Automation, Gene Haas Foundation, Amazon, Blackhawk Industrial, Doosan Infracore Machine Tools, Okuma and Quality Mill Supply.
