What Is a $100,000 Bill Doing on This Billboard?

Talk about a big bill. John Baldessari's 25-by-75-foot image of a $100,000 note—an art installation next to Manhattan's High Line elevated park—clearly qualifies. Some commenters have already made the "bill board" pun, but I'm coining "bill bored" because Woodrow Wilson's stern, outsized mug grows tiresome awfully fast. $100K bills actually exist. They were printed during the Great Depression (I bet that boosted the nation's morale!) but never publicly circulated. They're illegal to own, so if you see one on the pavement, best to just leave it there—though it would be a hoot to buy a Sprite with one at Duane Reade and watch them try to make change.
