Being, banknotes with a layer of aerogel between each side, the aerogel is filled up with hydrogen or helium or whatever.
By adding on a small propeller and a GPS sensor, the banknotes can be made to deliver themselves to a creditor.
No inflation jokes please.

As an inflation fetishist, I feel affronted at your ban on
inflation jokes. It's important for me to maintain a sense of
humour and be able to laugh at myself. |

This would give a whole new meaning to 'putting on airs'. |

"whatcha building there Clem ?" |

Over time, the layer of banknotes in the

Hiding the banknotes under the mattress would mean waking up with your nose pressed against the ceiling. |

On the other hand, anyone with their pockets full of the banknotes will never drown. |

Money as an actual gravitational inversion. The rich would
never be seen again. Nice. |
|

I get the feeling that some people - who shall remain nameless - aren't this idea seriously. |
|
| |
Banknote drones. Not sure if that deserves a bun or a bone. |

BTW, can anyone explain how to change my user name to *nameless*? |

^ Hippo kind of beat me to it, I forgot about adverse prevailing winds. |

It might be possible to inject the banknotes into the jetstream, but it might need very patient creditors. |
|

Might need a new theory of currency circulation. |
