USING USED MONEY TO MAKE MONEY
It's difficult to keep up with shifting curriencies when one travels frequently. I remember traveling in Mexico in the early 1990s, before the peso devaluation in which the zeros were dropped and everyone was confused for a while. The next trip, we were all using both currencies.
A decade later, I was in France before the shift to the Euro, and unknowingly brought home a stack of francs. Those, I did not get to spend on my next trip. 
These bills and more made their way into a large textile piece titled "Banco Mundial" or "World Bank" featuring other international paper currencies.
Made of used money, this work is now available to make money for a good cause.The best news is that it can be yours at the auction this weekend, in support of Patronato Pro Niños. Click on the link or read the details below. I hope you'll attend this live and also virtual programming, no matter you live.
