Dollar Bills with the Faces of Iconic Figures from Pop Culture and History
Why is it that paper money in the U.S. only features the faces of presidents?
Artist James Charles asks this question in a series entitled “American Iconomics,” in which he replaces the faces of presidents with those of iconic figures from pop culture and history. Not only does Charles use meticulous ink work to create the faces on the bills, but he also alters the words on the bottom to create new money with a different kind of message.
