Death NYC — Snoopy & Woodstock on U.S. Dollar Diptych
Two Real U.S. $1 Banknotes · Signed · Custom Gold Frame
Original Death NYC Stamp · Sequential Serial Numbers · Pop Art
What You Are Getting
An original Death NYC pop art work printed over two real, sequential U.S. one-dollar banknotes — one of her signature and most collectible formats. The piece features Snoopy in a skateboarding / breakdancing pose wearing camouflage streetwear and Woodstock in flight, overlaid across two uncut $1 Federal Reserve notes washed in pink/magenta ink. The upper note bears the unmistakable circular "DEATH NYC" stamp.
The two banknotes are Series 2021 U.S. currency signed by Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen, with sequential serial numbers D40285791A and D40285792A — confirming they are authentic consecutive notes from the same currency run. The artwork is signed by Death NYC on the reverse (visible through the frame when rotated) and dated 2022.
Presented in an elegant brass/gold display frame measuring approximately 10" × 9", ready to hang or display on desk or shelf. The combination of real legal tender, sequential serials, the Snoopy/Peanuts pop-culture reference, and the Death NYC brand makes this a cornerstone example of her currency-series output.

About the Work
The Currency Series. Death NYC's dollar-bill overprint works are among her most recognizable and sought-after outputs. Building on a tradition that includes Andy Warhol's signed dollars, Keith Haring's 1987 $2 bill drawings, and the post-Basquiat SAMO currency tradition, Death NYC treats U.S. legal tender as her primary substrate — printing directly over the note's architecture with appropriated pop characters and her distinctive pink/magenta wash.
Sequential Serial Numbers. This piece uses two consecutive $1 banknotes — D40285791A and D40285792A — rather than two random bills. Sequential-serial pieces are more scarce within the Death NYC currency catalog because they require uncut or adjacent-run notes, which the artist sources specifically for diptych compositions. Standard Death NYC currency pieces use single notes; diptychs with sequential serials are a step up in rarity.
Snoopy as Subject. Within the Death NYC catalog, Snoopy / Peanuts pieces have become one of her most consistent and commercially strong series. Comparable signed Snoopy dollar-bill works have sold through eBay, Etsy, and European auction houses (DEWIT, Louiza Auktion, Samhart) in the $150–$450 range depending on size, framing, and provenance documentation. This piece benefits from the gold frame, the sequential-serial rarity, and the Snoopy-Woodstock pairing.
About Death NYC
Death NYC is an anonymous New York–based street artist (b. 1979) whose pseudonym stands for "Don't Easily Abandon The Hope." Active in SoHo and Chelsea since the early 2010s, she has built a body of work that appropriates luxury fashion, pop culture, fine art, and political imagery — reworking them onto street-poster formats, limited-edition prints, and real U.S. currency.
Her work sits firmly within the contemporary street-art canon alongside Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Mr. Brainwash, and Plasticgod, and her signed pieces trade through Heritage Auctions, DEWIT Auctions, Louiza Auktion, Invaluable-listed houses, and specialty galleries including Samhart. Her 2024 Artsy-listed editions and 2025 auction catalog results confirm an active, growing secondary market.
