At least cover all the food and drink essentials. Milk for bread. Eggs for bacon. Chickens for cheese. Butter for wine and so on. And if a bespoke currency system becomes absolutely necessary, use monopoly money and call it something like the ‘Beano’. All you’ll need to do then is make sure any future attempts at inflationary risking price hikes within your community, become subject to a rigorous tax rate of say…100 percent. That way, if the bloody wine grower ends up with all the Beanos one day, he’ll be forced to either just give em all back again or start begging away bottles of free plonk for his omelette kit. The concept worked extremely well once upon a way back in time, till some bright spark came up with the idea of a bank.
