idea for a new currency to fund assisting the world and its people

I have an idea for a new currency that promotes helping others and the earth. I welcome your ideas and critiques, as this is a newly birthed idea and needs reflection to ground it into being. The main idea is that to obtain the new currency, instead of trading dollars for it, you donate to a non-profit. So say I donate $100 to Greenpeace, then I would receive 100 units of this currency.

Greek statues were painted with LSD-looking patterns?

New technology has allowed reconstructions of the paint job on ancient Greek statues. I saw the picture of the archer statue and was like, "Hmm, that looks like a familiar pattern." I've heard that the Eleusinian Mystery ceremonies may have utilized LSA, and that these ceremonies inspired much of Greek art. I see much evidence of this from the colorization.
