When that happens, we will all use those 'lunchroom skills' and begin to barter for services.
First what will happen is skyrocketing prices which will eventually lead to money being worth nothing. Once folks figure out money's not worth the paper it's printed on, we will barter/trade for things we need. Most people tend to try and use the money system as long as possible
Anyone remember the pic of the guy with the wheelbarrel full of money to buy a loaf of bread? I can't remember which country it was, but I think it was Zimbabwe? (sp?)
Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but the potential is certainly there.
