What if the best way to make more money … is to create it yourself? In this new documentary series from filmmaker Nathan Truesdell and Field of Vision, we follow folks who decided to take wealth creation into their own hands, and upended the meaning of “value” in the process. Meet a libertarian Florida coin-maker who dreams of bringing down the Federal Reserve; a Danish painter who supports a family of four by exchanging paintings for goods; and a master counterfeiter, who reveals how he minted hundreds of millions of dollars—and got off scot-free. As this series shows, there’s more than one kind of currency exchange.
