This draft addresses the aftermath of the 5th option of How To Print Money?, as well as allowing a return of coins.
[desc] Following the decision to allow private citizens to issue their own money, the @@CURRENCY@@ has been severely devalued to the point of being practically worthless. Bartering has become commonplace, and the official currency is falling out of use. Realizing the potential for financial failure and structural instability, a band of impoverished citizens have approached you to offer their opinions on the matter.
[validity] Only valid for nations that chose 769.5 and have a physical currency
[option] "I haven't eaten anything for ages!" whines @@RANDOMNAME@@, a former economist, setting up a few mouse traps next to your desk. "I had close to one billion @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@, but when the hyper-inflation kicked in, my years of scrimping and saving were all for naught. You must prohibit ordinary citizens from producing money and dispatch our police to disrupt their current currency-creating activities. That's the only way to stop our economic system from completely collapsing."
[effect] businesspersons who make too much money are hauled in for questioning
[option] "Why would the police agree to that? After all, you have nothing to pay them with!" reasons a blacksmith, who is sharpening an axe on a grinding wheel. "I've got a suggestion. Since our currency is worth a thousand times less than before, it makes sense to redenominate it to something with much fewer zeros. The new @@CURRENCY@@ should be in the form of coins that are minted from only the most precious metals, so that their cost of production makes counterfeiting unprofitable. If there are no objections, I would like to get started on this project immediately."
[effect] the most expensive houses are often worth a few @@CURRENCY@@ coins
[option] "Redenomination will take too long," states @@RANDOMNAME@@, the Commissar of the Army, who is heating a soup can over a mound of burning banknotes. "What won't is enacting martial law and seizing the means of consumer goods production, placing them under government control. Afterwards, you can then set up a state rationing programme that will provide citizens with essential goods and thus quell unrest. From now on and until the problem is resolved we shall issue ration cards instead of @@CURRENCY@@. As for halting money printing activities, it'll be a waste of resources to try."
[effect] government ration stamps are used more frequently that the official @@CURRENCY@@
[option] "What's so wrong with citizens engaging in barter trade?" questions a rather suspicions butcher with blood stains on her hands. "If individuals can obtain what they want through a fair exchange, then there's no problem, except maybe the amount of time it takes. It'll be better for everyone, I reckon, as they won't be exploited by big corporations, or some nice concept like that. The @@CURRENCY@@ can be displayed in museums as a piece of our history, and we can bask in a post-consumerist paradise. I'm sure that a few weirdos will still use it, but what do we care?"
[effect] most government officials have defected following the revelation that they wouldn't be paid
Note: option 3 explicitly states that there are still some people who use @@CURRENCY@@
