That is where I am at Marcos. The US dollar has replaced Gold. The US is bankrupt. Once it is known people will go back to gold. Or maybe not. The rest of the world is not as blind as Americans.

I figure lemmings should be the standard medium of exchange. They are born exactly the same. If you want to forge a lemming you have to actually breed them which will cost as much as acquiring them. They last as long as a paper dollar. A bit messy and you would need a cage. But everyone has truck these days. A backpack could carry at least 50 lemmings. For change you could could use lemming tails. No one would forge them as you would end up desecrating a real lemming. Of course some people would think of breeding them and acquiring all the wealth in the world or traveling to the arctic and capturing them as they jump into the sea. Let them go ahead. It is impractical as going into Northern Ontario and digging up all the gold which is in practically every crevice you can see. Anyone with a few dollars could do it but you don't see a lot of guys taking it on. EC<:-}
