Carbon Currency
Critics who think that the U.S. dollar will be replaced by some new global currency are perhaps thinking too small.
On the world horizon looms a new global currency that could replace all paper currencies and the economic system upon which they are based.
The new currency, simply called Carbon Currency, is designed to support a revolutionary new economic system based on energy (production, and consumption), instead of price. Our current price-based economic system and its related currencies that have supported capitalism, socialism, fascism and communism, is being herded to the slaughterhouse in order to make way for a new carbon-based world.....

Well, whatever the global currency finally winds up being (I vote it'll be something along the lines of denarius), it won't be a good thing.
I'm still promoting currency backed by cheddar cheese, aging in a warehouse.
ReplyDeleteIf it's Vermont extra-sharp white cheddar, I'm in.

ReplyDeleteOh dear. That's right, Lady R. We need to think of a currency that will work with the International Bank of the Mattress!
ReplyDeleteUmmmm....how about toothbrushes? No, that's boring. Uhh.....Jolly Ranchers? And the Apple Flavor could be like the $100? (Grape would be the penny)
Parmesan, the Italians are already using it.
ReplyDeleteI've heard some people are already stocking up barterable (is that a word?) goods for an upcoming economic crash. Matches, salt, all kinds of little things that you don't think on during normal times. Not even very expensive, the things I heard mentioned.
