Title: Another Day, Another Dollar
Text: While attempting to buy an Eckie-Ecola at your local convenience store, you are shocked to discover that after a minor hyper-inflationary period the shopkeeper is no longer accepting @@CURRENCY_PLURAL@@ and is instead insisting all customers pay with the much more stable United Federation Dollars.
Validity: Weak Economy, large government, not electronic currency, currency isn't gold
Option 1: "This is an insult to @@DEMONYM ADJ@@ pride!" proclaims your Minister of Finance, who happens to be standing in line behind you holding an Addison Cola and a fistful of @@CURRENCY_PLURAL@@. "If @@DEMONYM PLURAL@@ can't even trust their own money, how can they have any trust in government all? We need to take drastic measures to stop the inflationary spiral we're in. Stop printing new @@CURRENCY@@, increase taxes, and slash government spending to get a handle on our debt. It's a bitter pill, but I promise you it'll ultimately save the patient."
effect: the value of @@CURRENCY PLURAL@@ is quite stable as most households only have a single note
Option 2: "The United Federation is trying to undermine @@NAME@@ and the @@DEMONYM ADJ@@ way of life." opinions hyper-patriot news personality @@RANDOM_NAME@@, who coincidentally happens to be talking about this very problem on the TV above the shopkeeper's head. "Treat United Federation Dollars like the pestilence they are, burn them and any money smugglers arrested, while we're at the same goes to any foreign currency! All patriotic @@DENOMYM ADJ@@ businesses will, of course, cut ties with the United Federation as well."
effect: picking the wrong destination for a holiday is treason
Option 3: "Look on the bright side," suggests the shopkeeper. "If you make United Federation Dollars the de-facto currency, there's no need to maintain a mint, worry about currency design, or counterfeit prevention. Maybe you give up a bit of control and pride, but it'll be so much easier. We can even keep @@CURRENCY_PLURAL@@ around as novelty to sell to tourists and such."
effect: @@CURRENCY_PLURAL@@ are only valuable in antique shops
Option 4: "We wouldn't have this problem if the currency was pegged to something of real value," insists an eccentric old man while perusing the candy aisle. "Make every @@CURRENCY@@ note worth exactly an ounce of gold and you can bet your bottom @@CURRENCY@@ that @@CURRENCY_PLURAL@@ would be worth something again."
effect: @@DEMONYM@@ are finding the new gold-plated @@CURRENCY@@ less than convenient
