Money Man is the face of the money printer — a cheerful tycoon who genuinely believes more printing fixes everything, including too much printing.
He satirizes dollar debasement across RVRS projects: when dollars print like board-game money, somebody has to be drawn cranking the handle. His only line of dialogue: brrr…
Money Man is an original RVRS character — a fat-cat central banker archetype in a top hat, monocle and walrus mustache. He is smug, cheerful and completely oblivious. He never worries, never doubts, and never stops cranking. He alludes to the board-game-tycoon everyone recognizes, but he is our own drawing with his own name, and he never borrows anyone's board, logo or trade dress.
He exists to make one argument visual: a currency that can be printed without limit is board-game money. Wherever RVRS writes about debasement — the Sell the Dollar book, its card on rvrs.ai — Money Man is there, printing.
Flat vector shapes, no gradients, no outlines. The face is two dots, a monocle and a mustache — no mouth, the mustache does the acting. Head is a circle (r 26 on a 320 canvas), the body an egg-shaped rounded rectangle with no neck, arms are single thick round-capped strokes with circle hands. Bills are 38×20 rectangles that never sit straight. Backgrounds are banknote cream with faint engraved circles.
