    The people living in Fiddler's Green were all associates of Kaufman, their families, servants, and essential staff. It's not hard to imagine how a barter economy would develope, but it's utterly ridiculous that they still used money! I can see the city issuing some form of scrip, but pre-Dead American greenbacks?! Anybody brave enough to set foot outside the city could

    Another thing. Since what was really worth money was the goods that were being brought in, by all rights they should have been the ones with the power because without them there would be no high living.

    Exactly... but we also see in fiddlers green that there's shops and restaurants so there must still be some kind of monetary system among the wealthy who lived there. But how did they get the money and/or earn it i'm still wondering...
    You smell that? That's the smell of spring, and I love it. You know what I love to do in spring? I love to come out into the woods, to walk amongst the budding trees, to smell and taste the hint of renewal that hovers in the air like a heady perfume, and to listen to the song of the birds who have returned from their long sojourn south. And bury the people I killed during the winter...

    We all know that paper money is worthless. So the question is what was backing the currency?

    Illusions of worth? Almost like the present if you think about it.

    I couldn't have said it better myself. just like the illusion that diamonds are actually rare and therefore worth something. Once again, perception is reality.
