This wood-framed art piece showcases 13 authentic hyper-inflated fiat banknotes from around the world, each a haunting reminder of failed monetary policy and the fragility of paper money. All banknotes are original and authenticated and the artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

From the One Hundred Billion Mark of 1923 Germany to the One Hundred Quintillion Pengő of 1946 Hungary and the Ten Billion Drachmai of 1944 Greece, this collection captures the catastrophic collapse of national currencies across eras and continents. Each bill represents a moment in history when governments printed their way into economic ruin when citizens watched their life savings vanish overnight.
