The Rise of Old Money - A Historic Account (2021)

Overnight, Old Money became a cultural statement. Next came Volume III, with grotesque artwork and absurdist engravings. In Edition LXIII, Hoodro hijacked the mint, flooding it with propaganda. Systems failed - Moderators panicked - Lore solidified.

More regulators were named - a president with multiple personalities emerged. Unseen forces took over the vaults and Discords. Reality blurred. Debates began. Everything changed.

Rebellion was minted.
It all began on October 26, 2021, with the infamous first edition of The Inflation Times. Nothing would ever be the same again. Following the publication, Secretary of Inflation Mfer. Hoodro and Over-Printer in Chief Trixson announced the minting of thousands of $0.2 bills on Cardano.

Lore took hold immediately, spreading through the community like wildfire. As the volumes progressed, the tone only got louder. This wasn't art. It was prophecy - In Volume II, SEC Chair Cheddah Gangslur made headlines with his “F that ish!” outburst.

Faces of Xesserson

The $0.2 Bills collection is where Old Money first found its edge - and its face(s). Released in late 2021, each 1-of-1 NFT features a unique physical manifestation of President Xesserson, the disfigured and increasingly unhinged leader of the United Slave States of America. Victim of a rare degenerative condition, Xesserson suffers spontaneous physical mutations, each bill capturing a different grotesque variation of his ever-warping form.

Designed by Over-Printer-in-Chief Richard Trixson, these bills are as much medical documentation as monetary parody. Distorted features, mechanical eyes, clownish accessories, even horns, each piece satirizes both the fragility of power and the madness behind the money printer.
Far from simple profile pictures, the $0.2 bills became narrative anchors. They were minted in waves, documented in The Inflation Times, and tied to key events: policy scandals, botched mints, public uprisings, and the ultimate political downfall of both Hoodro and Trixson.

While most NFT projects flaunt scarcity, Old Money flexed pathology. The $0.2 collection is a study in economic mutation, authoritarian absurdity, and the visual decay of a regime too bloated to notice it was dying.This wasn’t currency.

This was warning. And every Mfer knew it.

Flip the Script

In Old Money, not all truths fit on the front. Enter the Back of Bills, or B.O.Bs. Rare relics of lore, unlocked only by those MFers brave enough to complete the most twisted game ever minted: the Vault Hunts.

Each B.O.B is the reverse side of an original $0.2 or MX Bill revealing a hidden moment in the underground timeline of Old Money. While standard bills flaunt satirical portraits and inflation-era grotesques, B.O.Bs show what’s behind it all: the invasion by Mfers of the OM Discord, The City of the Rugged, Trix signing a suspicious treaty, or just Hoodro being forcibly relocated after a questionable incident involving propane.
Only 13 B.O.Bs have been released to date. They aren’t airdropped. They aren’t bought. They are earned—through mind-ripping puzzles that test lore knowledge, crypto skills, paranoia, and a healthy disregard for sleep. These are community-won artifacts, minted for the few who could navigate the chaos and come out with answers.

Owning a B.O.B isn’t just a flex—it’s a medal of survival. Proof you were there, paying attention, digging deeper. The front of the bill is propaganda. The back? That’s where the story really starts.

Flip it. If you dare.

Cartel Capital - Community Currency

The MX Bills are Old Money’s second great monetary misadventure, printed not in defiance of inflation, but in exile. After Hoodro and Trixson fled the United Slave States of America under investigation for delivering the $0.2 bills as collectible art rather than true inflationary currency, they resurfaced south of the border. In Mexico, they struck a deal with local cartels: a new bill, a new president to mock, and a new chapter in the fuckery.

The face of the MX Bills is President Lardazenas, a gluttonous, power-drunk head of state turned visual chew toy. Each bill depicts a unique deformation of Lardazenas, a symbolic insult commissioned by cartel bosses seeking both a local currency and political humiliation.
But underneath the satire, the collection runs deeper: metaphorically, each Lardazenas mutation represents a different MFER - the everyday citizen twisted by corruption, chaos, and resistance.

If the $0.2s were protest, the MXs are revenge. Bolder, louder, and dripping with criminal influence, these bills don’t just question legitimacy - they erase it entirely. The MX operation cemented Old Money as a decentralized currency cabal, where art, mockery, and rebellion are inseparable.

In MX, the people didn’t rise - they printed.

Printed Farewell

Printed in a short, poetic run of 169, these bills carry a farewell “HOODRO’S AU REVOIR” a tribute to co-founder Hoodro Wilson, whose departure in 2023 marked the end of an era. His face appears throughout the series, immortalized in repetition. TWINS aren’t just a bug in the system, they’re a feature of the faithful.
The TWINS are more than duplicates. They're echoes.

A hidden reward for collectors obsessed enough to chase doubles, triples, even octuples of identical bills. Each TWIN set is a perfect match in every trait but one: the serial.

TRIX - The Mother Chain Manifesto

When Hoodro vanished in a cloud of gas leaks and unfinished sentences, one MFER stood alone: Richard Trixson, the artist, the printer, the last founder still standing. In 2023, he minted a tribute - not to himself, but to the persona he had become. Thus was born the TRIX collection, released not on Cardano, but on the Bitcoin blockchain - the Mother Chain.

TRIX is pure iconography: each piece centers on Trixson in shifting forms and outfits, from gilded tyrant to bedraggled prophet, a visual autobiography of the man behind the overprint.
It’s part shrine, part descent, and part flex—a founder immortalizing himself the only way Old Money knows how: with satire, drama, and unlicensed symbolism.

Though only 44% of the supply was minted, this wasn’t failure - it was filtration. The TRIX collection became a natural selection mechanism, minted only by those willing to follow the art, not the crowd. It’s a rare chapter of Old Money forged outside the usual borders, where every minted piece marks someone who crossed chains for the culture, not convenience.

TRIX isn’t just a collection it’s a test. And the test is still open.
