Whether made of gold, silver, bronze, or paper, money tells the story of 2,700 years of human history. An indispensable tool for trade and a symbol of power, it fueled the expansion of empires and transformed the course of civilizations. From ancient Greece to today’s cryptocurrencies, this ambitious four-part series explores how money has built and toppled empires, and altered the course of our destinies.
All of the series’ 3D sequences were produced by our studio, combining scientific precision with artistic ambition. We also had the privilege of 3D scanning priceless coins from the French National Library’s collection.
