That's a strange definition of money. Are you suggesting that if I write "runeks money" on a piece of paper then I have created money? I don't think that's a useful definition of money.
- pjc50 4y agoArguably, yes. A fun example, the "Black Sheep Bank": https://coincraft.com/black-sheep-bank-wales-10-laugherne-castle-unc https://coincraft.com/black-sheep-bank-wales-10-laugherne-ca...
- runeks 4y agoThat's a promissory note. It was redeemable in pound sterling. It's a large denomination note whose purpose and function is to extend credit to the issuing company. It was traded at a discount of its face value, since no business in their right mind would lend money to the issuing company without being compensated. It's an example of a zero coupon bond. This has very little to do with the irredeemable currency I would allegedly create by writing "runeks money" on a piece of paper.
