Crystals

There is a hammer hitting a head somewhere. Or is that a head
hitting a hammer? I was thinking somthing more along the lines of a
microchip embedded in a crystal. Monkeys like shinny baubles. They
would be inexpensive to produce and people would think of them as
pretty and worth somthing. Look what Americans payed for Long
Island.

This is a great idea, and quite practical. Garbage is bulky, but
we have to keep it somewhere anyway, and we can know how much we
have just by measuring the size of our landfills. We probably don't
have to worry much about people actually redeeming it, and unlike
gold we wouldn't have to keep it under guard--garbage's very bulk is
the defense against theft. There might be a negative environmental
effect due to the reduction of recycling, but this would be balanced
out by the reduction of litter. And there would be a stimulus to the
economy as people consume more, for the sake of producing more
garbage. Hard to believe no one's thought of this
before...

| This would encourage people to produce more garbage and
trade it for currency.
I'm just waiting for someone to geneticaly engineer
algae to make it retain more gold (it retains some already).
That will kill off metals investment in a flash.
Thanks
