According to The Sun this morning – a 'new' craze is sweeping the internet.  Not so….

The Sun 8th December 2009

8 years ago, our very own ECD Tony D and then head of planning, Russell Davies launched the 'Wonga' exhibition at Westbourne Studios in Notting Hill, in conjunction with the fantastic photographer Lesley Davies-Evans.

At the time, the march of the Euro was prevalent in everybody's minds – and got Tony and Russell thinking about money – about what it actually is, rather than what it can do.  They dug out their unused foreign currency, studied the characterful strangers peering out at them and discovered a whole host of more familiar faces.  And so the exhibition was born…. a lovely example  of how just because something is 'the root of all evil', doesn't mean you can't have fun with it!

Here are some examples:
