In 1961, Italian artist Piero Manzoni packed his feces in cans, signed and mounted them, and then sold them as art.

In the movie "Gandhi" 300,000 extras appeared in the funeral scene. Of the 300,000, approximately 100,000 received a small fee, and the other 200,000 did it for free.

The first penny had the motto "Mind your own business."
