A Bench Made Out of Metrocards

This bench is made out of New York City Metrocards and if you are a savvy New Yorker, you may find that some of these cards have value on them so the bench may be worth more than you think!

This in from TreeHugger:

In New York's subways, you see a lot of discarded Metrocards. It's sad, not only because most people drop them on the floor rather than in a trash can, but because the cards are rechargeable, and there's no good reason to dispose of them in the first place. But NYC-based artist and designer Stephen Shaheen has come up with a unique way to recycle old cards, or at least 5,000 of them: he's made a one of a kind bench.
