ABSTRACT
Currency is an electronic game and custom game console that play with the idea of uncertainty in our actions and the systems we function within. A console constructed from an obsolete antique Burroughs adding machine monitors the exchange rate of bitcoins to US dollars and uses this data to generate a game level that prints out on the machine's roll of receipt paper. Players use the adding machine's grid of numeric buttons in the attempt to pull two columns of ASCII symbols together while being either aided or impeded by the current Bitcoin value. As Bitcoin's monetary strength increases and decreases, the difficulty of the game mechanics adjusts accordingly. In extreme cases this can even result in certain rounds of the game being unwinnable or unlosable.
