The Plan Of Currency

In the four to five years before this work, I almost didn't use any paper money. I would use online payment, bank card and various apps to complete the payment. The rapid development of science and technology have changed our life.

The idea first came to mind in June, during the COVID-19. Various prohibitions have delayed the program until August, during which time the street - stall economy has become a national topic. In the past decade, it has been largely forbidden to set up stalls in any city. Merchants need to apply for various permits to set up stalls, but now they are not required. As long as they go to the permitted area, they are free to set up their stalls. This is something I didn't expect, but it surprised me. This led me to finally go out on the street to finish this work.

I set up a stall to sell paper money, and people can buy them at the same price through WeChat and Alipay qr code. In my opinion, money is a symbol for the transaction of goods. In the past, people used shells, gold and silver as money, and then they invented COINS and checks to replace them. Now there are more convenient ways for people to conduct transactions through the Internet. 

In the process of sett up the stall, people came to my stall to ask questions and chat, which really reflects people's attitude to paper money. This became the most important part of my work.
