Three ways:
We can have the B Nomic ruleset (as it does now) ignore any B Nomic 
Shillings that are not in B Nomic, and whenever Craig trades those BNS to 
someone in B Nomic, the Bank loses some, and if someone trades some BNS out, 
the Bank gains some.

We can have the B Nomic ruleset recognize any BNS in the Market as well as 
in B Nomic, and have those BNS that others (like Craig) exchange for come 
from our Bank.

We can change the Market ruleset so that changing items into other items 
isn't allowed.
