Do we truly know if the Middle is all dollar bills and not filler?
- c249709 1y agothere's only one way to find out
- jihadjihad 1y agoNot until Nicolas Cage gets involved.

- volemo 1y agoAre there any "external"/"outwards" CT scanners? It'd have to somehow measure reflected radiation, I presume.
- mh- 1y agoThis felt like the most obvious explanation to me as well. Maybe the artist's vision for it was a solid cube of cash, but it ended up needing a structure inside to support the thing. So many reasons this might be exactly $1,000,000 but not sum up on the outside. That said, this is also something I would have spent way too much time overthinking, so I thoroughly enjoyed reading the blog post.
- giancarlostoro 1y agoAgree, I loved the post, but I also wonder if there's more nuance to it that we're unaware of.
- delfinom 1y agoArtist should have been fired. If I'm being shown a stack of $1 million, it better be a stack of 1 million of they are gonna be talking with the fishes.
- danparsonson 1y agoYou clearly take your currency exhibitions very seriously - although if they're talking instead of sleeping with the fishes then presumably the outcome for the artist isn't as bad as it could've been
- m-hodges 1y agoDid you read the article? > What if it’s hollow? You can only see the outer stacks. For all we know, the middle is just air and crumpled-up old newspaper. A money shell. A decorative cube. A fiscal illusion. The world’s most expensive piñata (but don’t hit it, security is watching).
