Sure, the bills in your wallet are yours now, but how many hands have they passed through on their way to you? Have you noticed the curious rubber stamp icons on your money—obviously communicating something, but what? and to whom? Is there an underground stream of communication based on these mysterious codes, icons and ciphers. Does the public act as unwitting carriers of the “code”, spreading the bills across the planet. Curry offers a stamp sheet of some enigmatic marks that he found on $100 bills. You can tear off a stamp and place it in the corresponding spot on your own currency, confounding the code, or sending the message: we’re on to you. Signed and numbered.
