What increases the value of the home up to a million dollars? And how about a billion? Irish artist Frank Buckley (Frank Buckley) built his house out of 1, 4 billion cut up in small pieces of euro banknotes. The award-exclusive permission from the Central Bank of Ireland, Buckley has constructed and now lives in the house, completely made of shredded bills written off. He formed out of money bricks measuring 5 by 15 inches, each of which consists of 40-50 thousand euros. Three-bedroom house - this is a great exercise in the use of recycled materials as well as social declaration, personal response to the housing and financial crisis that hit Ireland.





Also, like many of his fellow-krestyanami Buckley was the victim of domestic construction boom that led to financial problems in the country, which ultimately require the assistance of the European Union. In the 200 years he received a loan sized and 365 000 euro for buying a house, despite the fact that he was at the time the unemployed person. These "crazy", as he puts it, credits and is what brought the country to the financial crisis.



Faced with the need to save, the artist did the unthinkable and began to build the house, or rather the apartment of the euro banknotes in an abandoned office building in Dublin. Now apartment consists of three rooms - a bedroom, bathroom and living room with space for a gallery of his work. Each room floors are made as of the bills. During the Irish harsh winters, densely packed shredded bills, according to Buckley, so it warms, he even falls asleep without a blanket. "Whatever may be said about the euro, it is still an excellent insulation material," says Buckley.
