... and it can only be 'printed' for so long before the entire 'system' is undermined.

Maybe they should use the leaf but even in the HHGTTU that was shown to be problematic

Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt leaves as legal tender, we have, of course all become immensely rich.

But, we have also run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability. Which means that I gather the current going rate has something like three major deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut. So, um, in order to obviate this problem and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on an extensive defoliation campaign, and um, burn down all the forests. I think that’s a sensible move don’t you?

I am sure the EU will have an answer to that.
