Mark Wagner - Money Collage

Mark Wagner creates currency collages from $1 bills kinda like a money mosaic. Doesn't it make you cringe to think of money being cut up in the name of art? And if you think a measly dollar note won't get you very far in the wake of the current economic situation, it's RM3.48 to 1USD and that can buy me a hearty meal in Malaysia.

    I hope that if he sells his art, he gets the amount back that he used to make it with! LOL!

    Yikes I hope these are outdated bills that the treasury decides to get rid of.... Although the art work with the money is fantastic!

    Wow, that is so neat, however, must be nice to be able to afford to cut up money!
