Is it legal to create a new currency?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) July 15th, 2010

What’s stopping me from creating a new currency?

I don’t want to use dollars any longer. I’d like to create a new currency and begin circulating it into society. Let’s call them Reals.

I’ll print them off on my ink jet printer and base their value upon my personal assets. By receiving a Real, you are receiving a note that represents your ownership in the assets.

You can stop by any time and check on the security of the assets. Or cash in your Reals and walk away with your portion.

Would the US Government allow this?
