CRITICISMS


While this Currency is an interesting idea, the implementation has some flaws. One major flaw is that, according to the official website, Notes that have been lost or stolen cannot be redeemed. This is a problem for someone who unknowingly accepts one of these notes, and only later finds out that it is worthless. The site also implies that the notes themselves are very susceptible to damage by water.
