I'll offer you $50 bucks for it, shipped. Sound good?
Ha nice try, he could easily sell the single notes for that money! (And buy some BTC afterwards)

Thank you for the kind offer but I wish to keep this as it is my first creation. Not to mention it cost me $85 to create Cheesy

Please also excuse the poor photos above, they were taken with my iphone. I have taken some better ones with my SLR camera. If you click the link below it will take you to full quality uploads on Flickr, Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm definitely thinking of doing these to sell. I'm looking onto to learning how to screen print so that I could produce a few runs and sell them here to other bitcoiners. I spent around £50 and that includes all of the currency, the photo frame and also the glue needed to stick the notes down. The notes are from Iraq, Afghanistan, China, India, Indonesia, Mosambique, Peru, Turkey, Brasil, CCCP, Yugoslavia, Egypt, Greece, Portugal, Vietnam, Austria, Guatamala, Honduras, Argentina, Russia, America.

I am waiting for a Zimbabwe 10 billion dollar note lol! They even have a 100 trillion dollar note! I live in the UK and when I get my hands on a clean crisp British pound note of some kind I will add that as well. I may even add some euro's in to the mix Cheesy I was also thinking of making a few of these and screen printing the message “At the end fiat money returns to its inner value—zero.” - Voltaire. When I was making this, it really got me thinking about how worthless fiat currencies are in most countries and how Bitcoin could really take over as a currency and store of wealth in these poorer countries. I have many ideas for some brilliant art pieces but just need to get my ass in gear Cheesy

Awesome! Man that's creative! Nice job! You should sell prints of that! (Maybe for BTC!!  Wink) How much money went into this? And how many bank notes did you use? From which countries? Woah, so many questions!

Hi all, I spent today making a paper fiat collage Smiley I may at some point apply a screen print to it with the bitcoin logo. I created it to remind me how worthless paper fiat is. I hope you all enjoy.
