Can you see whats been added to these bills? The artist known as J.S.G. Boggs started his money drawings in 1984 in a bar in Chicago on a napkin a waitress asked to pay his tab with his art, which was the birth of "Boggs Notes" as well as some trouble with the law. he would draw a "Bogg Note" denominated for $10 in exchange for $10 worth of goods from stores, restaurants, bars etc. And never would sell his art to someone but would tell people where he spent it if they wanted to find his work. A Boggs note can usually sell for much more than its face value, a $10 Boggs note may be worth more than $1000. Anyone who knows about Boggs is likely to accept a Boggs note; for this reason, Boggs prefers to spend his art with people who are unfamiliar with his work. He likes people to make a conscious choice to accept art instead of money. After all money is not the root of all evil, its the love of money thats the root of all evil!
