For the currency collector · The Bills

64 notes. Each one graded, each one 1/1.

Real Series-year Federal Reserve Notes, third-party graded by PMG, each with a serial, an issuing district and a certification number you can verify. Two years underground gave every note its own pattern of rust, mold, water and loss. Filter the archive the way you would read the damage.

The Anatomy of Filthy Fiat: a decayed one-dollar bill labelled with paper tears from extraction, staining from dirt and moisture, regional bank location across 12 regions, front and back artifacts, series date, black mold from 2 years buried, the serial number, and multi-bill overlay — One note, annotated. The 64 below each decayed their own way, but you read them all the same.

The bills become art

These notes do not only get archived. They get rebuilt.

The buried bills are the raw material. From here the work branches two ways, for two other kinds of collector.

FOR THE ART COLLECTOR

Physical Art

The Warren Buffett portrait that sold at Christie's, the Filthy Fiat Flag, signed prints. Made from the bills.

Enter the physical wing → FOR THE DIGITAL COLLECTOR

Digital Art

The Bitcoin Ordinals and Ethereum works that reference the bills on-chain, from the 2023 series to today.

Verify a specimen

Is it real? Look it up.

Every note is graded by PMG, a third-party service that authenticates paper money. Enter a serial number, a specimen number, or a PMG certification number.

Physical prints carry a QR code that lands here too. Not sure of the number? The full lookup lives on the verification page.
