Coins which superficially resemble real currency, available with a remote control device which detonates them. Each coin is of a different denomination. The holder of the remote control device punches in the denomination of the appropriate coin, which then explodes with extreme force, releasing custard.

Hint: edit "gently" to "with extreme force" and claim your bun ... |

Is there something suggestive about something in one's pants exploding gently to release custard? Or am I just lonely? |
|
|
Self-destruct currency? Wasn't that baked when we went off the gold standard? |
|
|
It was when we sent all our money to China. |

Baked by GWB and Dick Cheney. |

By the way, the DEM (Deutschmark in the standard SWIFT codes) no longer exists, so how can there be 1.24 of them to the USD? |

useful for all those vending machines that don't deliver the goods. |
|
|
Not if it's one for custard, or self-destruct currency come to think of it. |
|
|
custard vending machine - yes, there should be one on every corner. |
|
|
Maybe such a vending machine should actually start with [MikeOliver]'s ustard as a raw material and proceed to convert it into either mustard or the substance with a thousand uses. |

//available with a remote control device which detonates them.// Ergo, not *self-destructing*. And flushed down that same drain, my hopes of new directions in "cryptology". |

"Another modest proposal" by Larry Niven has a wonderful method of actually having money self destruct when it gets accumulated in too big a pool... something that appears to be a growing problem for our society these days. |

uranium money? I would but the ever-living bejesus
out of that. |
