It depends on what the notes are promising.  If this kind of society ever
comes to pass, I would gladly accept notes promising to provide potatoes
or flannel shirts.  Why would I want a promise to provide gold?  I never
use the stuff.

In the computer age, money is obsolete!  The value of anything is just
what you can bargain for it.
