You can admire a rich sewer cover here. Unfortunately, the coins are not up for grabs here.

Artwork by Wim Bakker titled "The Cesspool."
A round porthole with a glass lid through which a quantity of coins can be seen. The inspiration came from the discovery of a cesspool in Lange Vorststraat and the debate about the introduction of the euro, as many countries would lose their own currency. A bank was also located on the corner of Markt. Bakker wanted the money to be visible in the street, as if looking into the cellars of a bank through a porthole. Above it is the text "Pecunia non olet" (money does not stink). The name "Cesspool" therefore also refers to the fact that money can bring misery. In 1999, the cesspool was filled with coins from various European countries.
The artist wasn't particularly worried about problems with "real money" in the artwork, as the coins were welded and glued in place, making them unusable due to the holes in them. Nevertheless, the cesspool has already been emptied three times. After the first time in 2013, the artist refilled it, but this time with euro coins from various countries.

At this spot, you can admire a work of art by Wim Bakker. It resembles a manhole cover made of coins.
