banknotes and coins may be withdrawn from circulation, but remain legal tender. united states banknotes issued at any date remain legal tender even after they are withdrawn from circulation. canadian 1- and 2-dollar bills remain legal tender even if they have been withdrawn and replaced by coins, but canadian $1,000 bills remain legal tender even if they are removed from circulation as they arrive at a bank. however, bank of england notes that are withdrawn from circulation generally cease to be legal tender but remain redeemable for current currency at the bank of england itself or by post. all paper and polymer issues of new zealand banknotes issued from 1967 onwards (and 1- and 2-dollar notes until 1993) are still legal tender; however, 1-, 2- and 5-cent coins are no longer used in new zealand.

since 1999, wagner has been using us banknotes to create portraits, abstractions, allegories, still lifes, and sculptures ranging in size from 2x3 inch smiling and frowning parodies of gilbert stuart’s portrait of george washington on the dollar, to the 17x3 feet "liberty", a 2009 depiction of the statue of liberty using slices from over 1000 dollar bills. lisa dennison, chief curator of the solomon r. guggenheim museum in new york city commends wagner's “witty and intricately detailed” work and situates his art in the longstanding tradition of artists like ed ruscha who adapt pre-existing resources to create uniquely engaging works of art. detractors say the work can lean towards the gimmicky.
