Oddly enough, I'm a money atheist. I don't believe it exists! I think it's just a fictitious, all-powerful concept invented by humans, to comfort themselves in their basically empty existences.
Or perhaps I'm a money agnostic, since I see no evidence of money in my life.

Jailbird, could it be, maybe?
I'm working my way through the whole oeurve, but I'm doing it in a weird order. Like, I've read Palm Sunday but not Galapagos? Come on.
I don't know if that's how to spell "oeurve", but it should be.
Sorry, that's how it should be spelled. If you spelled it your way, you wouldn't pronounce it correctly.
And it is... the mints (if they are still called that) should just print everyone a shed-load of money. Then we would all be very, very happy.
These so-called economists will tell you that this will lead to something that they call inflation, but, seriously, what would they know?
I don't trust them. I don't trust people who understand numbers.
I've heard they drink Diet Pepsi.
My theory is, everybody should just get ONE bill of money, one banknote, and you can buy ANYTHING YOU WANT with it that's for sale!
But after that...once you spend it, you're broke for the rest of your life.
Unless somebody wants to try to buy something off of you, I guess. But in no event is anyone ever able to have more than one. If you try to get a second banknote, it is forfeit to the government as tax.
And then they can buy whatever they want with it. ONCE.
As to your theory... it has potential, but also some flaws. It's like that whole "if you had one wish, what would you wish for?" dilemma, and some smarty answers "well, an infinite amount of wishes, of course".
See, because, if you just get one bank note, with which you can buy anything you want, well, I would buy five bank notes. Pretty soon, in this JoeLand of yours, I'd be the equivalent of a multi-millionaire!
Unless you meant that one bank note only equals one item, in which case... I'm screwed.
So, I'll just have to hide the extra ones I procure. In a secret-Cayman-Islands-bank-account kinda way.
I can do that.
But there's still some kinks to be worked out.
Oh, that Cayman Islands thing wouldn't work - under this scenario, the Cayman Islands is the central government of the whole thing.
