Seriously, folks, the tea-baggers are TRYING to torpedo the economy.

And they're doing an admirable job of it. They have been for several months now, if not longer.

I still like my perishable currency idea - cause it prevents the concentration of wealth over a period of time which upsets the balance of power.

As for multiple independent currencies, having recently watched some of an Anime based around economics in such a system(1), I'd have to say the potential for serious fuckery is still there, if not potentially worse.

And instead of an arbitrary date on paper or some other semi-useless crap, I'd say make the currency something edible - hell, whiskey filled that role at one time, but that tends to increase in value if one hangs onto it long enough.

Hmm, maybe some form of candy, heh...
