I never thought of a Hypno-coin. The MM back cover was always suggestive to me 
of a time-lapse photograph of stars swirling around a fixed star in the center. 
Can't you get that with the North Star, astronomer Joe Hartley? After all, the 
moon is a celestial body, and a time-lapse photo is a sort of "double exposure." 
The photo also suggests looking up at a streetlight and time-lapse photos of car 
headlights ("Tight toy night/The streets were so bright").
