Artist unveils her 'Zero Dollar Bill'

The next time you see a George Washington in your purse, check for the denomination. It could just be a "Zero Dollar Bill."

New York artist Laura Gilbert is venting her anger at Wall Street by printing limited edition $0 bills (there are about 10,000 of them). She was distributing it to Armani-clad executives in Manhattan. The Washington Post report mentions that she would like to "confront them with my art."

The lady who pulled her money from the stock market as early as August 2007, is miffed at the plight of others who have lost their lives savings. She quips, "I was trying to think of the best way to respond artistically to this mess."
Finally, art comes to the rescue.
