Within 5 weeks of your acceptance, we will leave the country for Kolcata (Calcutta) India, with a backpack full of Ayn Rand novels. Here we will contact local metal workers, using this intellectual kindling to forge a giant Aluminum coin, 60 inches in diameter*. We will take this coin to local craftsmen who will engrave upon its surface the face of Elizabeth Warren, firebrand of banking regulation in America. 

Then we will roll this coin up into the hill country, on a journey of over 744 kilometers, through tiny villages and across the border into Bangladesh. We will roll through the 9th largest city in the world, Dhaka, to the barren, polluted ship-breaking shore of Chittagong. Here we will hire local workers to break our coin into tiny manageable bits, just as our beloved Glass-Steagall Act that prevented banks from gambling with government-backed resources was dismantled by greedy, amoral bankers and their lapdogs in congress. 

Oh, and we will be dressed as clowns as we do it, documenting the process for you, our dispassionate and exacting patrons. 

Along the way, we will endeavor to meet with local authorities to gauge their attitudes about American banking practices, publicly examining the forces that lead our country from the freedom of economic deregulation to the constraints of economic collapse. Dressed as clowns. 

Furthermore, it will be our responsibility throughout the journey to always steer our course toward the obscure, the dangerous and the incongruous as a means of further delineating the difficulties that lay ahead for anyone attempting to restore order and balance to an economic system that has gone totally awry.

* NOTE: In source materials we have described our coin as being equivalent in height to the American actress and writer, Carrie Fisher. Further research has lead us to believe that Carrie Fisher may in fact be 5'1" tall rather than 5'.  If so, we will increase the size of our coin, because we intend to be fully Fisher compliant.
