This is physical banknote-style artwork, produced to a similar standard as circulating currency. The $PAPER currency is a social token, issued on the Ethereum blockchain by Tom Badley in collaboration with TryRoll. The token as a maximum issuance of 10,000,000. What's the first thing to do with a token currency? Back it, of course - with 'paper'! Each tranche of 1000 $PAPER tokens are 'backed' with a physical bill, currently available in two denominations - 1000 and 2000. 2,500x '1000' bills and 1250x '2000' bills have been printed to date, together representing 50% of the total $PAPER supply in physical backing. Owners of these bills are able to 'cash' them for $PAPER tokens, sent via the TryRoll wallet, or retain the artwork/physical bill. The $PAPER project is evolving, but was initiated as way of asking: where does the money start and the art end? - and vice versa. A banknote has a face value, but also a possible collectible value, based on its desirability and scarcity. Being in a unique position to literally 'print money', Tom Badley's $PAPER project is a literal extension of what so many artists have done before - to make the price tag the artwork itself.

"Graduating from the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and attending the Cooper Union School, New York, Tom has a lifelong interest in art and money. This interest led to working in the banknote industry as a designer. Among only a handful of qualified banknote designers, Tom uses these little-known techniques in his banknote art. It was inevitable that Tom would enter the world of crypto art, which he uses as a medium to meditate on the intersection of art and money..."
