The Currency Project

While working on a pitch for a financial client recently, I started researching Bitcoin and other alternative currencies that are floating around out there. And while Cameroon’s adoption of bottle caps as currency, and Zimbabwe’s hyper inflated ‘One Hundred Trillion Dollar” bills, were interesting. The country of Somali was the winner for me, with coins issued as guitars and motorcycles. This all made me consider what kind of currencies I might accept as payment. The net: Make me an offer in tiny erasers or Mr. T puffy stickers, and we might just have a deal.
