Silvia Saavedra's Geek Money is Out of This World
Ryan Hinkson — August 21, 2010 — Art & Design
You don't have to journey to a galaxy far far away to get your hands on a $1000 bill bearing Boba Fett's image. Thanks to the Silvia Saavedra 'Geek Money' project, you can choose from a bunch of nerdy currency created by the artist.
'Star Wars' is well-represented in the Silvia Saavedra 'Geek Money' installation but there are also other sci-fi and nerd heroes. Daft Punk and Halo also show up on the redesigned Chilean pesos.
