Re: Radioactive money

I had an Economics teacher who would muse how much fun it would be if cash was made from radioactive isotopes with a short half-life. He wasn't hoping to irradiate the population so much as to see what might happen to consumer spending habits if everyone knew they had to dispose of their pay packet before it blinked out of existence.

Some bloody economics teacher that hasn't heard of hyperinflation. Ask Venezuela .
