Each individual bill highlights a different issue concerning migrants: the high cost of migration, the importance of remittances, migrants’ contribution to multiple economies, the risks they face, and the fact that most migrants would prefer to stay home. The bills are folded into squares representing one migrant from El Salvador, Guatemala, or Honduras, with data from the WFP survey. The colors represent the migrant’s primary reasons for migrating: economic (blue), quality of life (yellow), reunification (orange), security (purple), and climate change (green).
Visitors can scan one “migrant money” bill to see one migrant's story appear on the screen. The interactive touch screen allows visitors to explore one migrant’s experience and learn about their individual story.
