Zero Dollar (1978-84) by Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles consisted of banknotes that were stamped with the word "zero" or "cancelled" and then circulated as currency. By stamping currency, Meireles critiqued the arbitrary nature of monetary value and highlighted how money is a social construct dependent on collective belief rather than intrinsic worth. The work commented on political and economic issues in Brazil during its military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985.
