Everything is a currency, Luc, since everything can be used in a barter (and that used to be the way markets were conducted a few millenia back). Sea shells used to be the currency in the middle ages. Mass adoption of a particular currency is a matter of trust and convenience. The greenback's there now, but the future belongs to e-cash (do you use credit cards?). As for the inflation argument, there's nothing to stop a Govt. from producing more gold coins - if gold was indeed the currency. That was a nonsensical argument that you make. But then, what's new?
