Returning to the gold standard, long a suicidal political idea, has gained traction in the last year from people other than crazies (well, Republicans, so ... sort of). Will still never happen, I imagine, but it's slightly more legitimate now than it was before our recent shit.

That said, I loved this link. Paper currency in Middle-earth. Good stuff.
