“We’re making the Ruble worthless to Russia, and yet valuable to the people of Ukraine”.

When Russia invaded Ukraine their currency (the Ruble) plummeted nearly to zero. I bought about 7,500 of them, just before they were banned in the western world. To get our hands on more, we had to smuggle.

Two more stashes were obtained in St. Petersburg and Iraq, and secretly brought to the US. The worthless money was then shipped to 30 artists from around the world who turned them into art.

The project turned 43,250 rubles (worth $300) into just under $20,000 USD in humanitarian aid.

The was sold collection as 1/1 NFTs, which came with the matching framed IRL artwork. 100% of sales were donated to the CARE.org humanitarian aid program in Ukraine.
