Create your own CURRENCY
Step 1: Thinking of a Catchy NameYen. Bit coins. Pounds. yuan. most currencies have names that are easy to pronounce, and if not, have their real name shortened. for example, pounds are actually great British pounds sterling, but that's a bit of a mouthful, which is why we shorten it to pounds. you'll also need a short, catchy name that anyone could pronounce.
Step 2: Planning Your Currency planning your currency is paramount. for example, releasing a coin into the wild without knowing who'll produce them could lead to some serious inflation problems. so, you're going to need to think about tour currency. will it be commodity money, or fiat money?
Step 3: Coin, Note or Neither? Decide if you're going to make a coin, a note, or something different; perhaps, if you're a tech genius, you could even make a virtual currency. first, decide on this- if you want something that won't take five minutes for an individual coin, try banknotes- you can use a computer to make the design , and print off the picture many times. you'll need the name of your money written on the note, and the amount.
Step 4: Making Your Money Hard to Forge forgery is a problem in all countries. however, it can be made harder to forge by using rare materials or special types of paper. you can recreate this too! you could use tippex against a white background to make a picture that you can only see when it's held against the light, you could thread in little bits of foil so you can check it for authenticity. using a few well-placed light pencil marks will also stop it from being photocopied.
Step 5: Releasing Your Creation
How will you put your currency into practice? How will you control the flow of your currency? How much is it worth? How will you dispense it? etc...
