...brainchild of Turkish-born industrialist turned hotelier Fuat Mehmetoglu, the 70-room, Bauhaus-inspired bolt-hole is built around a courtyard close to Austria's legislature in tony Josefstadt.

Coins seemed more practical than rocks, which had not been usable as currency since the actual Stone Age, though my own collection was never worth more than the sum of its dimes.
