4,851 @hirst_official#TheCurrency physical paintings were destroyed like this during October ‘22
Mine was one of them.

Merry Christmas @HENI discord superstars and to anyone scrolling through the socials 🎄
Here’s @hirst_official autograph on the back of my #TheCurrency#NFT

It’s that @hirst_official again!
On the back of my #TheCurrency#NFT released by @HENI
This is a holographic foil applied to each of the 10,000 pieces, formed from a skilfully hand carved block.
Another anti counterfeiting measure influenced by other currencies 💷
One of the many anticounterfeiting methods @HENI used for #TheCurrency physical is a miniscule microdot on the back of each piece.
Here is my #NFT - you can just about make out that @hirst_official fella in the microdot 🔎
My #NFT#TheCurrency was once a physical painting.
Here it is as part of the amazing @HENI display with 9,999 others at the @hirst_official Newport Street Gallery before its ultimate destruction 🔥
Here’s how the dots were applied to the @hirst_official#TheCurrency#NFT paintings. I reckon that’s a 5mm dowel. 10,000 paintings!
Wonder if anyone worked out how many dots were painted in total?

@EpicToneDogg I have an urge to rewatch Deliverance after hearing their podcast about it.
It must be 25 years since I last watched it.
I’m sure it will have a much greater impact on me nowadays.
@Adamski_UK Dude! This was on my radar about three weeks ago, I’ve since nearly gone through the entire back catalogue, fascinating, funny, insightful. It’s great. Not a bad episode amongst them
