It’s an intriguing collection and it was created by Toronto born artist Raymond Waters.

Waters is particularly interested in the meaning of the term ‘value’ and uses recycled and found objects to create his pieces. This piece is one of nine unique versions all housed in a wood cabinet.

It was estimated to be $787 billion U.S. Dollars but was later revised to $831 billion U.S. Dollars.
