  Quoted: He draws money: francs when in Switzerland, dollars in the U.S., pound notes when in England. He doesn’t sell his drawings. Thats rule number one, he “spends” them. That’s rule number two. So far, he’s spent about $250,000 worth of Boggs’ bills.

  We were talking about this artist over lunch. I had never heard of him but I'm intrigued. He creates highly detailed replicas of money, spends them, and then sells the receipt from his "purchase" to an art collector who can then go track down the spent bill and try to purchase for their art collection.

    Um, isn't that a federal crime?

    Cool idea though :)
