It's fiat money, so the question is meaningless.

Iceland used to have an excellent economy. Then the government said 
"Whoops, our money isn't worth much", and overnight they have food 
shortages because nobody knows how much the Kroner is to the Euro 
without the government imposing it.

Money that's only of value when someone threatens you with a gun if you 
don't accept it?  Priceless.
