Fenntucky Mike Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 I imagine this happens in most countries where hyperinflation is occurring I just though some of this was interesting/neat. Their are numerous stories like this on the web if you feel like searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revenant Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Going to start getting into Bolivares now? I saw this image years ago and I've never forgotten it. But it just gets so bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revenant Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 In fairness though, some people don't care how much their art supplies cost and will use a US $50 or $100 bill for paper to draw on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made my wallet hurt to watch that. I wonder if a bank would accept a defaced bill like that, I wouldn't take the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the video through he addresses that and the answer is 100%, "No." It is no longer legal tender once you deface it. He used a $100 bill as the world's most expensive piece of art paper.

Maybe I should get a brick of Bolivares and practice my artistic skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to realize is that that video is monetized and has gotten a lot of views, a lot of ad play, and he's probably made his $200 back many times over from YouTube revenue sharing. So good on him. We'd have a hard time pulling that off. But yeah. Enjoy buying the art markers he was using. Those things ain't cheap either, yo! I say this as a former high-school art-brat.

It won't cost me anything extra and I can always unfold it later if I need it. Revenant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pounds Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Bathroom wall paper especially. It actually makes for very good wall paper! And educational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenntucky Mike Posted November 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 I'm thinking the polymer notes will be my best bet for wall paper. Problem is that they usually have a security window in them, I wouldn't be able to hide the ugly blue color without having to paint the walls first.

White paint can't be that expensive... of course... with white you could probably just do primer and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
