Artist prints `Zero Dollar' in dig at Wall Street


NEW YORK (AP) — With the financial meltdown leaving many Americans wondering what a dollar is worth, one New York City artist has an answer — zero.

Painter and printmaker Laura Gilbert is passing out signed and numbered prints of the "Zero Dollar," which looks like a dollar bill except it has zeros in place of ones.

Gilbert will be distributing 10,000 of the fake greenbacks in front of the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday to call attention to the economic crisis gripping the nation. She says the artwork is meant to be a statement about "the destructive role of many financial institutions, inflation, and the decline of U.S. currency to the point of seeming worthlessness."

They might be worth something someday.

Hack job.

I like the idea, but the lack of technical execution is insulting. Small details such as leaving the back & front with the words "Zero dollar" instead of "dollars" & the fact the corner 0's are all the same font is lazy on their behalf.

As for the initial, effort/per-shock, goal, it acheives that. It could be better.

Some say when the dollar completely collapses, it will make way for the Amero. Interesting take on what is happening.
