Zero Dollar Bill Now In Circulation

[BlackSun]

 

A New York City artist has created a "Zero Dollar Bill" to call attention to the financial crisis that's gripping Wall Street and Main Street.

 

Laura Gilbert, who is a painter and a printmaker, will be passing out signed and numbered prints of the "Zero Dollar" in front of Wall Street establishments.

 

The bill looks like a dollar bill except it has zeros in place of ones.

 

Gilbert plans on handing out 10,000 of the bills to passersby in front of the nation's financial district.

 

She said the artwork is meant to point out the "the destructive role of many financial institutions, inflation, and the decline of U.S. currency to the point of seeming worthlessness."

 

Gilbert, like millions of other Americans, is outraged by what they see as fiscal mis-management.
