    Now that were all pretty much in the dung heap in poverty, debt, negative equity etc, I propose that we take a minute and escape reality for a minute

    No-no, put down your crackpipes and hear me out...

    I propose that we all individually come up with our own new currency that we have plenty of to make us automatically rich (in our head naturally).

    Myself, i was torn between stones, feathers and the numerous weeds in my back garden to make me me quite the rich man. However, i think ive hit the jackpot! :D:D

    BLADES OF GRASS!!

    I'll see all you peasants later :P

    You can pick back up your crack pipes now - thank you :pac:

    That's been done in the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" books.

    They choose leaves as the currency, but due to hyperinflation with the ready availability of leaves they had to undertake a massive deforestation program to reduce the problem.
