Executed in 2005, this work is a result from a performance the artist enacted began on 29 March 2005 in MoCA, Taipei, later moved to Jiancheng High School due to rainy weather. During the performance, 66 sets of antique Golden Yuan Bills issued by Kuomintang Government, each set consisting of 2 bills, were spread on Japanese paper mounted screens which then Cai blew up using his revered gunpowder technique.The resulting works were then auctioned off at a TV platform within a limited time frame with Tsai Kang-Yong as guest host. The whole process was recorded.

本作為蔡國強於2005年台北市3月29日在台北當代藝術館舉行（後因天雨移至建成國中）進行的爆破藝術所衍生的作品。藝術家把兩張一組，一共六十六組的上海金圓券舊幣鋪在裱有日本紙的屏風上，並在屏風上進行爆破。成品在隔日晚間的電視購物平台進行限時拍賣，由蔡康永客串購物專家進行叫賣，整個過程以錄影記錄。
