(NEW YORK TIMES POST) – There’s gold in them thar hills – of Central Park.
A German artist has created a cube supposedly made from pure gold and plopped it in the middle of Manhattan’s largest greenspace – in a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to a new cryptocoin that was launched at the same time.
Reportedly made from pure, 24-carat, 999.9 fine gold and weighing 410 pounds, Niclas Castello took more than 4,500 hours to create it. The cube has a hollow core.
