Isn't it better to use .999 fine silver if you actually want it to circulate?

Last one for today:



If you have any ideas and can't seem to render them into being, post them here.  I'll help out if I can.

It would be great to have a point of sale system that could handle hard currency, canadian$ etc, calculate change in ferns.

If you want to create your own currency, you ought to give it a name other than "dollar". I would suggest "granite". One granite could equal a tenth of an ounce of silver, so a silver round would be 10 Granites. Instead of using a dollar sign, you could use a capital "G" with two lines through it.

Isn't the unit of measure grams?  Why invent a fake system of currency?  Just put .999 fine silver (or Ag) X grams.  With a slight modification to the idea of a "Granite" you have this which you could use for grams Ag, non?

I like it, and the idea of just using "grams" as the names. Most currency "names" as we understand them nowadays were originally units of weight (e.g., the British pound, the Greek drachma), mathematical divisions thereof (e.g., the cent), or the place of origin (e.g., the thaler). That the weight-based names have been so thoroughly disconnected from the real unit of weight, so as to become a proper noun, is merely a result of inflation, debasement, seigneurage, and other government meddling in the value of the currency.

I'll take twenty.

Wait, does that mean Lloyd is a zombie or a vampire or some other variation of neither living nor dead?   

Cause, ReverendRyan says:
·   DO NOT use likenesses or profiles of any living or dead people.

(I was forced to explain my kidding of the Tom and the Lloyd.) 

[Lloyd Danforth]

People would start referring to it as the 'chin'

I was going to suggest a shire coin with Ivan on it.  We could call i the 'Ivan'

[Tom Sawyer]

So now I got to follow rules... 

I will except payment in Lloyds 

[Lloyd Danforth]

Got two Lloyds?   Gimme one and I'll scratch my signature on the other one.

[Tom Sawyer]

All across the Shire merchants will be heard to say "Who is Lloyd?"

[Jim Johnson]

Aye, ya look like a man what's got two Lloyds ta rub togather.  

[Tom Sawyer]

Got two Lloyds?   Gimme one and I'll scratch my signature on the other one.

See we are already creating rare collectables.

And disturbing imagery. 

[Lloyd Danforth]

Got two Lloyds?   Gimme one and I'll scratch my signature on the other one.

See we are already creating rare collectables. 

I'm only gonna scratch my signature on a limited number* of Lloyds.
