When citizens of a virtual art-state took it upon themselves to create a 
new currency, they chose a radically different direction than the 
blockchain coins currently in vogue. By appropriating not only the 
physical materials but also the functional aspects of the existing 
financial apparatus, the principals of the NSK State Reserve extended 
the retro-avantgarde toolkit of the NSK State to bring the financial 
industry and its history into frame. This book reprints the notes and 
bonds created by The Reserve, recounts key events from the history of 
this institution, and offers direct insight into their process and 
principles.
