The Art of the Trade

Steven Minnaar is a celebrated artist best known for his groundbreaking “Minnaar Money” collection—a tradable art series and interactive treasure hunt. He uses his art both as savings and as currency, trading it for his day-to-day needs—naturally limiting the supply that enters circulation. As such, each piece is not only a work of art, but also a store of value and a medium of exchange. His creations span a wide range of mediums, subjects, and genres, yet are unified by their intentional design as tradable, functional art. Minnaars are actively collected, traded, and valued by a growing community of collectors and enthusiasts.

Key aspects of Steven’s work include:

Freedom & Prosperity – Steven teaches the principles that can help one live a more free and prosperous life.
Treasure Hunt – Each Minnaar (excluding Fish Eyes) includes one or more of 24 words that, when arranged in the correct combination, can unlock a treasure containing over one full bitcoin.
Scarcity – Fewer than 3,000 Minnaars exist to date, and Steven trades only a limited number into circulation each month. Join the waiting list or explore the secondary market via the Collector Forum.
Authenticity – Each work comes with a digital Certificate of Authenticity, protecting collectors against forgeries, counterfeits, and fakes.
Tradability – Each artwork can be traded for another of equal value.
Community & Marketplace – Join the growing community of collectors who actively meet, discuss, and trade Minnaars.
