Ten Thousand Cents is a project where a digital representation of a $100 bill was created by thousands of different people from all over the world. This project caught  our attention because it was made using Amazon's Mechanical Turk - a tool for sourcing people to perform Human Intelligence Tasks - or tasks that computers are unable to perform.

Individuals were asked to reproduce  a 10,000th of a $100 bill using a custom drawing tool, but were not told anything about the project. They were each paid 1 cent for their work, making the total cost of the project $100.

The final artwork is shown as a video of each section of the note being drawn at the same time. See some of the close ups here.

Prints of the final artwork are available to buy for $100, with all proceeds going to the great One Laptop per Child project (which used to be known as the $100 Laptop project).

It's fantastic to see such a creative, thoughtful and productive use of Mechanical Turk. Take a look at the website here, where you can see more videos and find out a bit more about the project.
