Campaigners pose on Dec. 3 with 15 tons of 5 rappen (€0.04) coins in an old Basel bank vault, which they are auctioning to promote their initiative to introduce a 2,500 Swiss franc (€2,040) unconditional basic income for every working Swiss citizen. In a spectacular stunt on Oct. 4 the campaigners poured the same 8 million coins, one for every Swiss citizen, out of a truck in front of the Swiss parliament in Bern. They've already collected over 130,000 signatures in favor of their proposal -- enough to force a referendum on the matter. The vote is expected to take place next year.
