### TransferWise, the Estonian-founded, London-based money transfer platform, broke a Guinness record over the weekend in Estonia, by creating the world’s largest currency symbol made out of people.

The company gathered employees from across its five offices in Europe and the US to complete the giant euro symbol, made up of 350 people from 35 different nationalities. It overtook the previous world record of 327 people, held by the North East Chamber of Commerce (UK).
