It's virtual money. It can't be taxed, siezed or traced I gather. It's at $80 I heard.

@Frank Apisa,
Wassau, Frank wants a duck. Make him two right away, please. No need to order ahead, Frank. Wassau is quick. That duck is one dish I can actually do very well. Every time I do it, I think I've gotten lucky because it comes out so good and would be so easy to ruin. Yum, I agree roast duck is delicious.

That store is on the corner of 79th and 1st. Agetta something or something Agetta, can't remember which. Great store. Such fun times. Miss miss miss NYC.

Are you bad mouthing the US Dollar? Ah, go ahead; everybody else is.

@roger,

No Roger I think that the US dollar at minimum (worse case scenario) is backed by the sword. My girlfriend was one of those swords... also a Vulcan.

Currencies are backed by the productivity and the rate of consumption of the economies from which they spring. American productivity has dropped, in large measure because American capitalists have exported jobs in order to increase their bottom lines, and the country be damned. The economy, however, remains the largest consumer economy in the world. When that is joined to the American dollar being the "refuge" currency in an uncertain world, it helps to maintain the dollar.

@Setanta,

Got it! Export jobs and increase consumption.

Oh, you said "remains the largest. . . ."
