[QUOTE="ratski, post: 2333795, member: 936"] In addition to items that can be sold (silver, gold, lead, brass, copper, etc) I would assume that if the currency standard that taxes are collected in suddenly changed, then the currency you had in the banks would change also. I'm not sure how many laws would have to be passed to change the currency of the land, but I'm no expert. Then, the tax man would have to change what he accepts as payment for taxes. If he accepts dollars, then cash dollars or check dollars or electronic dollars should work. I'm not sure how many laws would have to be changed to not allow payment by check or cash. I'm also not sure if the tax man could or would require payment in cash (trying to circumvent your ability to pay in the event of bank closures) due to security issues. Some interesting discussion of this in Thomas Sherry's "Deep Winter". Yes, it is fiction, but it was the first time I saw this particular idea discussed out. Dave [/QUOTE]
