Well, I did though, so that one coin was put to use again...for cigarettes I suppose, which proves that art can at least buy you cigarettes.

They've only recently begun installing transparent litter bags now. And that sculpture is the one from the Italian 20 cent coin, isn't it?

Said to say but this is a throw back to IRA Terror tactics. In particular stations, overground and underground, were vulnerable. Small bombs were put in trash cans, so they were all removed. Glad you found it not to dirty and at least these days we don't have to worry about the IRA; lets hope for us and our visitors it continues. :-) No Trash cans?
