<<you MUST have had fun putting that construct together!>> Yes, I didn't have access to a wood turning lathe either. I also had to rush that one to get it delivered within a reasonable time. So much for the "Mark 1". It's a display unit only -g- The Mark 2, if I get around to it, will be designed more carefully. The wooden tokens would be larger, but made from the same speciality wood. The tokens would be cut out using a hole saw and the cutout blank retained as the "token". Because the grains in the wood will match, they will be difficult to replicate or make forgeries, detectable when placing them back in the "home" position. I will also put in the id chips too. The brass rims of the tokens will be the connectors to the embedded chips. The value each token represents can be whatever the owner decides them to be, and largely determined by the precious metal coin(s) in the "bank". Here is that ID chip. Silicon Serial Number, TO-92-3 (farnell.com) The lining up of the wood grains would be a good quick visual back up should all electronic systems fail in a horrendous CME event that could happen. This way a feudal type society can sell thier products and services, the economy can prosper, even with restraints on the precious metals used as a backing for the tokens in distribution. In fact the world should be stock piling silver and copper electrical conducting materials for CME event that is bound to get to us sooner or later. Each ingot carefully electrically insulated to stop massive induced eddy currents from melting the whole stack. I have started stockpiling already ! -g-
