Groucho Marx once said, "Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy," but money is also handy for art made of money. Artists use money to make art or make art ON money and hopefully to make money making art made of money.
Art made of money is illegal if it makes the money unfit for circulation as currency. The United States Secret Service is in charge of tracking down money manglers. Those convicted of defacing money can be thrown in jail for six months. So kudos to all the brave artists whose art is made of money!
