Fish Scale Coin

The smallest coin ever made by the United States Mint was nicknamed "fish scale." The main design featured a six-pointed star behind a shield...Reverse: The Roman numeral III sits inside a large "C," meaning "3 cents."

[surrounded by stars some of which are six-pointed]

Orphaned Land

I already wrote in this blog a few times about attempts to deal with uniting the main monotheistic religions. It is the most obvious solution for those who preach for stopping wars, because one of the main reasons wars occur is the friction between these religions. What is worth paying attention is that the Magen David finds its way to these attempts. E.g.
Orphaned Land is a Progressive metal band from Israel whose music contains Middle-Eastern influences. Their album "Mabul" tells the Story of the Three Sons of Seven (one son for each monotheistic religion) who try to warn humanity of a coming flood as punishment for their sins. Eventually they fail since the people refuse to listen to them and the flood comes to be.
The first son bore a Star of David upon his crest.

Lampshade

Picture is courtesy of sue jan who published it on Flickr. I like this design and hope to get some details about the materials and where can one buy it . Pay attention to the small red Star of David in the center of the big one.
P.S

Today I got the following email from sue jan:

Three Symbols In One Price

I already published a few Magen Davids-with-Theodore Herzl pictures which were sent to me by Dr. Hayim Grosman who used these photos to illustrate his lecture about "two symbols in one price". His lecture was part of a symposium about the Magen David that took place in Yavne, Israel, on 5 April 2007. Here we see "three symbols in one price", The Menorah, Herzl and the Magen David - each representing separately the Jewish Identity. Along the Jewish history the Menorah and the six-pointed star were competing who will represent the Jewish people but here they cooperate in harmony.
