Wrong - everyone needs food, water, shelter etc to live - In the current state of
affairs money can only get you these things - it is not a substitute for them.

And besides, paper money has no intrinsic value.

No, I'm sure it would work as toilet paper or kleenex.  (Wallpaper,
perhaps?)

wallpaper would be cool maybe of money from all around the world to give
it a little color.  i once saw a wall in an rustic style house covered
in old pennys.  it was really cool.  there were all gradations of
copper, and until you got a couple meters away, you couldn't tell they
were pennys.  if you only think about it, it's a silly idea, but once
you see it, it's really cool.

Isn't that, like, illegal? Or did they get some kind of permit?
It's this kind of thing that makes the penny practically obsolete; since
their value is so small people use them for other things besides currency
and it's not worth it to mint them.

Oh, I don't know about that. If you take some along with you on a
camping trip, you can use it to start a camp fire.

just now saw your post.  if it is illegal, i don't think that's very
fair.  to me, it's similar to keeping a ton of cash in a safe at home
for years and years.  you aren't using it, but you've got it.

The pennies are permanently unusable though, unless you were to unglue them.
Besides, keeping a wad of cash around isn't necessarily good either. Paper money
only has value because it can be spent. It upsets the balance of money in
circulation to material goods.
