It's true that scarcity without utility is pointless (unless there are
enough collectors around, which seems to be the only thing giving
precious metals their value), but at least this proposal would create
a currency with a decent amount of scarcity. If I proposed something
that would create a way to spend our B money, would you vote AGAINST
because demanding something that isn't scarce is pointless?

On that note, would anyone object to bringing back the RPG or
something like that?
