A Tale of Wealth and Perception

In a world where money isn’t just money, Color Currency tells a fascinating story. Imagine a place where the rich see rainbow-colored bills, the middle class deals with red, green, and blue money, and the poor handle only black and white coins. And then there are those who can’t see color at all; for them, everything is just black or white. This unique currency system shows how wealth and status are tied to the colors you can see, highlighting the inequalities in society. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the way we perceive things can shape our world in unexpected ways.
