Pig Currency

How do we make conversations about cryptocurrency less unbearable? And how do we move away from globalisation now that the world’s resources and our personal well-being are under pressure? These questions sparked Martha Nash’s project MarthaMarthaMarthaCoin.

She designed her own economy, combining elements of both the crypto and traditional banking worlds, in which she is the autocratic banker and everyone must keep her satisfied – to keep the economy turning. The currency? Handmade ceramic piglets, PigCoins. These PigCoins are available in various sizes and colours.
